Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	This has attractive cedary spice. Pips and some violet lift. Tastes interesting this: sort of summer pudding. Creamy, fine tannins. This is good.
Judge 2	cassis, brambly, bay leaf, good concentration, dense palate with balanced acid, firm fine powdery tannins, fleshy plums rich long length well integrated oak.
Judge 3	heavily wooded style. underlying fruit is dark and unfortunately subdued. Spice notes on the palate are pretty but mostly oak derived. grippy with some good length
Associate Judge	Meaty yet floral also colour appears of lighter kind. Good pastry notes on palate some herbal elements but still retaining good aromatics
