Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	mod , closed slightly stringy, palate lacks fruit weight with the structure
Judge 2	solid, violet lift, some nice malleable tannin, looking touch dried, sage / bay, nice colour. oakkkkkkkkkkk
Judge 3	Savoury fruit - plenty of brine, cassis, blackberry, mulberry. Lovely fine grained, pervasive tannins. Good length of flavour. Has a whipped egg white silkiness about it.
Associate Judge	dusty, cranberries, red fruits, tannins hit quick and aggressively
Associate Judge	Musty, meaty, charcuterie, translates to the palate as well. tad meaty, lacking fruit sweetness and drive. Tannin from oak is generous but dominating. Dried out. Shame
