Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	great colour, lifted bay and sweet fruited aroma, fine grained and pleasant with supporting oak...
Judge 2	greener leafy edge, cab franc? nice red currant fruits, on the elegant side, resolved tannin and good drinkability.
Judge 3	Smokey characters on the nose, lipstick red fruit, black pepper, bay leaf - juniper berries. Palate has a sweet/sour thing going on, with the flavour dropping off a cliff just when I was hoping it would ramp up. Looking for more consistency of ripeness and less seams. An interesting wine.
Associate Judge	dusty, pyrazine on the nose, med body graphite, good tannin quite attractive
Associate Judge	Deep luscious, purple, violets. Juicy, generous, nice acid throughout, Touch warm and alcohol heat on fin
