Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	mod , closed slightyly brambly nose , greener tannin spectrum with stringy tannin profile
Judge 2	dark and dense, satsuma plums and brooding. little oak heavy, slippery malleable tannins, power and good concentration
Judge 3	Sweet pink fruit on the nose - strawberry, raspberry. Red liquorice. Black jubes. Very pretty and approachable. Has a serious edge to it - savoury spice, ripe tannin. Question the sweetness on the nose BUT overall plenty of pleasure here.
Associate Judge	dark fruits, plums, mullberries, black berries, evident tannin, quite drying. good length
Associate Judge	Choc and coconut and rasp, some must. Good depth of fruit but oak and tannin not so well integrated. Tannin and phenolics dominate.
