Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	good deep clour, quite reductive meaty nose yet dark cakey aromas underneath, quite rich and sweet fruited , tannins tend a touch on the bitter side but gd
Judge 2	bubblegum fruit and crunchy acidity gives some appeal and distinctive vanilla oak but appears to be parts rather than complete, a good effort
Judge 3	Stewed plums. Bacon. Solid wine. Nice richness to this wine. Big and bold. Simple and well made.
Associate Judge	forest berry fruits light oak
Associate Judge	Ok colour, rustic earthy nose, mushroooms, nutmeg spice. Lots of oak but oak flavours in harmony with the fruit. Dark chocolate, tar, black olive. Corduroy textured tannins. Long length.
