Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	nice colour, light fresh aromas of violet and casis, gd oak intergration fine and long
Judge 2	solid, hint of lift there, some nice jubey fruits, savoury notes, oak there, tannins ripe, solid wine. oak on the lactone edge.
Judge 3	Bay leaf, herbal... hints of formic and plenty of red fruits - bright, bouncy wine, oak is a touch heavy handed and leaves a sweet impression afterwards... Missing the balance and finesse that I look for in cabernet - a touch awkward.
Associate Judge	bright dark fruits on nose quite complex, Ribena, currents, stew rhubarb, supple finish good length
Associate Judge	Musty green peppercorn, Lacking fruit front palate, nice ripe tannins, some spice present, nice weight towards the finish, slight musty character throughout.
