Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	little fusty musty on the cork, ok bead nicely dry, lacks some fryuit weight , short
Judge 2	Aromatically bright and full of fruit - the tannins are present and exhibit a raw grip on the palate. The fruit lacks some of the promised freshness from the nose. This has interest and merit but needs to be consumed with food/protein. tight bead.
Judge 3	honest, simple, red ruby berrys, little grainy and simple, bead / mousee ok. touch clumsy.
Associate Judge	juicy berry notes. good fizz with some acid line going with it.refreshing with good fruit flavour.
Associate Judge	Dark cherry red fruits. Apparent sweetness, attractive creaminess on the palate. Nice sugar acid balance. Nice fluffy tannins.
