Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	Also good: deep dark and bread Xmas pudding smelling. slightly floaty oak. Some pine Aussie sous bois. Dark fruitcake. Just a bit clunky. Great flavour though. And warm.
Judge 2	Brettanomyces, shame as there's good chewy tannins behind it
Judge 3	minty, fruit driven. lacking really interest on the nose. acids clean things up nicely, tannins are supple, short
Associate Judge	Red currants touch of anise spice. Savoury elements. Threshold Brettiness to me since the palate is pinched (and hot)
