Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	nice colour,complex almost tarry nose , savoury frontal tannin with quite nice length and build of flavour
Judge 2	rp, td, violet lift, feminine nose, masculine palate, PV? acid high, slight meatiness, good wine, in the zone
Judge 3	Lavender, soap, strawberry and green apple. Pink Lady. Super aromatic. Cola. Palate has tannins, but is somehow narrow. I feel like this has amazing singular attributes that would make it an excellent blending component, but it misses out on some key characters that make it a wonderful standalone wine
Associate Judge	eucalypt, cranberries, bay leaf, nice body weight, but seems a little fatigued on the back palate
Associate Judge	lifted, minty, green peppercorn, mintiness carries through on palate, high acid, some juiciness, OK
