Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	very purp, slightly meaty nose , frontal quite short but ok
Judge 2	nice, hint lifted, red rustic fruits, lavender and sage, lots of spice, rustic tannin powdery profile.
Judge 3	Wah the nose here... so aromatic! Piles of red berries so high you could drive a tractor through them. Palate has the same abundance. There is a dawning thought that maybe this may feel a touch 'put together', but what an exciting, fragrant and lyrical wine.
Associate Judge	sour cherries, brambly, and leafy, violets and lavender, drying tannin, ok structure
Associate Judge	Coffee extract, fortified plum, tannins dominate, too much oak - swamps fruit. Some plushness of fruit but oak too much atm.
