Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	sl dishwater, sweet syrupy, good tannins, relying on RS
Judge 2	Ruby red, prunes and raisiny fruit elements. Lacking a bit of fresh fruit appeal. Juicy palate
Judge 3	Sl reduced green dried herbal note, palate lean from herbs and reduction, lean propped up with sweetness
Associate Judge	dank oak on nose, rich black fruits on palate supported with vanilla and spice
Associate Judge	Quite syrupy in texture, almost a berry cordial note. Fruit feels flat and there is nothing behind it to carry the wine. Tannin and acid both seem lacking.
