Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Judge 1	deep colour, forest berry fruits. Vibrant and fresh on palate, good intensity just a touch one dimensional.
Judge 2	Blue fruits, great lift and prettiness, sweet spices, very appeling, juocy yet dense and long
Judge 3	embrionic right now. Raspberry cordial on the nose. On the palate this is very sweetly fruited with good concentration. The fruit pulls through the finish, suggesting a good quality source - red licorice and white pepper. Jubilant. Spice adds an extra dimension of flavour and interest.
