Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	nice colour, slight menthol, red fruits campour interestings but is the mint ott? steed?
Judge 2	very nice, blue fruits, lots of clovey spice, oak a touch heavy, nice fruit weight big wine, little too clovey. bit of old mate there?
Judge 3	Red liquorice, star anise, fennel, hints of reduction and saddle, some attractive red fruits hiding underneath all that. The palate is full of red berry, refreshing, slurpable acidity and medium body at best. An engaging wine that is perhaps missing plush fruit weight to go with all the interest...
Associate Judge	menthol, forest floor, bright mulberries, a little hint of vanilla,
Associate Judge	oak lactone, coconut, slightly dried out due to oak, finishes short and dry. look at using older oak to mature in.
