Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	Find this quite menthol cineol and lolly like. Decent flavour though and tannins are balanced and fit with what is here. Some tasty fruit in fact.
Judge 2	foxy note - inky/paddy notes upfront, palate forward with cassis fruits, herbal/leafy component - green edge. Warmth, ripe powdery fine tannins, good evolution.
Judge 3	ripe and nicely complex. Complexity seems to be coming from some creative winery thinking. I wish it was just coming a little more from the vineyard.
Associate Judge	Toasty oak and dried herb. Red currant fruit but blocky edgy dry coarse tannin finish
