Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	mod bright, meaty quite reduced nose, grainy tannin profile ok
Judge 2	oak a touch pushy, dark gamey fruits, plucky aggressive tannins, touch chalky and drying. nice structure and length
Judge 3	Something funky on the nose - fried tomatoes... pomegranate, black cherry. Palate is silky and long, plenty of class and elegance here. Good length of flavour. Strawberries, black pepper... actually I love this.
Associate Judge	supple silky palate, cant uite get past the nose
Associate Judge	Musty, brooding, chocolate, hint tobacco leaf. Fresh clean palate, nice fruit, really nice fruit. Plums, hint blueberries, lovely sweetness. Tannins are fairly fine, well handled. Nice wine. Just needs a bit more complexity.
