Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	spicy, pepper lift, red fruits, juicy sweetness then stripping tannins, bit flabby
Judge 2	Light red hue. Dry herbs and a bit closed. Grippy tannins
Judge 3	good colour, simple red fruits of cherry, strawberry, rose florals, orange and baked rhubarb, crunchy fruit but some dusty oak tannin pulling wine back, hairy back
Associate Judge	bruised strawberry nose hints of spice, med bodies palate, tar chara, drying tannin
Associate Judge	Crunchy red berries but verging on underripe, a bunchy, green note that sours the palate. Acid slightly hard and finishes the wine short
