Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	good fruit weight and balance of complexity notes. A little short on the palate.
Judge 2	Meaty, prosciutto, some spicey oak and red berry spectrum, mid body
Judge 3	Dark resinous oak that leaves an artefact of tannin in its wake. The fruit is very pretty but doesn't have the oomph required to match the oak.
Associate Judge	vanilla chocolate mint eucalyptus spiced raspberry complex elegant
Associate Judge	Dense aromatics, little muted. Texture and girth to front palate and mid. Little tight and herbaceous on finish. Element of confectionary in mid palate
