Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	Dark and sweet earth; plum crumble and undergrowth. How old? Want to taste this. Smells inviting. Comfy demi-glace fruits too and warth. Old leather sofa, just a bit short because of heat.
Judge 2	cherry plum, vibrant lifted (VA) floral nose, lovely entry on palate, bright slatey acid, warmth, dried plums, mulberries, fine velvety tannins, good concentrate fruit length
Judge 3	classic aussie red nose - aged characters. Christmas cake, chocolate, cherry compote. concentrated with some attractive oak notes. reminds me of a Jim Barry! palate is again chewy and pretty oaky but the fruit survives - just...
Associate Judge	Brownish hue. Weetbix like on nose and looks evolved caramel VA also there I'm not getting much fruit. A stale evolved element on palate and the wine looks scalped
