Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	Perfumed Turkish Delight types smells (which can be found in malbec). Cherry tart. Plum and rhubarb crumble. tannins still need to soften. Oak is a bit up. Has chew and density and grip and dust.
Judge 2	herbal, leafy, with black fruits, bright acid, forward, gravelly tannins, bold palate concentrated cassis and aniseed, lovely length and depth
Judge 3	opaque, big pigment - crème de violette, big ripe plum, good char, heavy tannins, can't find the elegance in this...
Associate Judge	Pleasing wiff of mocha vanilla and dusty oak red and black currant fruit a little sous bois. Generous palate good density of fruit cake cherry and red berries but tannins quite full to angular
