Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	Deep looking with date, and rather unplesant oak, and really forced acid sour, almost balsamic. Not particularly pleasant to taste this. Rabbit pellets.
Judge 2	sweet spice, toast, mulberry fruits, red licorice, velvety supple tannins, solid acid backbone, charry/guaiacol oak/Brett persists otherwise good wine
Judge 3	very enticing, rich nose. agave notes, good mineral elements - great austerity to the fruit notes. this was picked on the right day! The palate weight is bang on. refreshing yet wholesome. acidity is clean and refreshing, great length, tannins are strict but fruit driven. love it.
Associate Judge	Complex choc mocha bit of tar and briar some sage complexity. Savoury palate with peanut brittle crunch. Finish a bit acid.
