Judging Results
Medal / Award	HC
Judge 1	nice col, red fruits marzipan, very good directions and persistence , palate drives long and red fruited with good freshness
Judge 2	Sweet and soft VS structured and savoury - this wine is a seesaw of experience. It is elegant and medium weighted, the real pleasure experinced deep in the core fo the midpalate. A kind of juicy succulence.
Judge 3	pretty high on the peppercorn and char, good spice, decnt fruit, worked cap gun style, interesting. maybe some bunch there?
Associate Judge	toasted nuts with some light berry aromas. the tannins of oak are quite present but well balanced. food wine. full bodied and great persistency
Associate Judge	Red/red. Smokey toffee toasty oak dominates. Big rich wine with great concentration and dark fruits.
