Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	Dark lush squeezed fruit smells and how it tastes. Just a bit floury in the tannins depth. Super succulent fruit though. Lots to hang on to.
Judge 2	Dense black blue fruits, lots of oak, concentrated, chocolates and tobacco leaf/bay leaf. complex. Full forward muscular tannins, a bit overpowering to start. good concentration of fruit follows, long length. solid wine
Judge 3	charming restrained nose, plenty to get excited about. really fresh, almost nervy, fizzy acidity...
Associate Judge	smoky oak firm and tight cassis in background. Tannins quite tight and firm
