Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	nice colour, brightness and freshess good lift and direction, some savoury meaty notes ok
Judge 2	solid, lots of fruit, fair swag of oak there, lots of power, nice fruit weight, good power. . .
Judge 3	Fennel, rosemary, cassis, red globe, satsuma plum. Palate has lively fruit, fresh acidity. Soft tannins. Perhaps a more commercial/simple style, but pleasureable
