Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Judge 1	rich and ripe, good weight and balance
Judge 2	Bright and pretty aromatics, whole berry notes, floral, juicy berries but has definition and tannins are fine
Judge 3	Spicy, tannic, chewy, supple, vibrant and balanced. Consistent flavour pull across the tongue, no holes. Gorgeous wine. Really impressive. (question slightly leafy, herbal character on nose and palate - while it adds to complexity, what does it say about picking times?)
Associate Judge	smoky decayed leaves meaty eucalyptus peppers cinnamon aniseed
Associate Judge	Smoke taint smells and feels present
