Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	A strange one this: a bit lino scented, almost chambourcin. Tastes okay though, nothing wrong in here. Exhuberant red fruit.
Judge 2	coconut oak husk, forward, dense fruit overtakes, lifted, dark cherries, plums, rose wood, VA lifts and dominates with air. Juicy plump palate, fresh fruit forward, lovely integrated oak, warm palate but good balance, bright acid, fine chalky textured tannins, licorice length. Delicious.
Judge 3	big nose. very well integrated characters. enticing. a few less new barrels would seal it for me.
Associate Judge	Vanillin oak herbal edges chalk and dust with a bit of plum pudding looking a bit too tired
