Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	nice colour , charry tight good fruit weight, good chewy tannin structure nice long
Judge 2	reductive and stemmy, lots of red fruit, dark and dense, brooding fruits, some spice and pepper, a little atypical
Judge 3	Dry cracker, crushed sea salt, seductive red fruits, I'm aware of the redness here. The tannins are fine and chewy. I like it. Lots to think about here. Elegant and refreshing but with power and length.
Associate Judge	a little stinky, Szechwan pepper, bright fruit, aggressive tannin, hints of vanilla on the back palate
Associate Judge	caramel type oak, dense, rich fruit, heavy plums and anise, hint cinnamon, good xmas characters but alcohol heat and spice dominating.
