Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	vanillan oak, icecream sweetness, mocha choc, sarsaparilla, sweet fruit burst, tannins quite extracted
Judge 2	Closed at first with spicy and meaty elements but lacking a bit of vibrant fruit. Better on the palate, good weight and length
Judge 3	vibrant colour and nose, lots of jam packed primary fruits combined with earthy, forest floor flavours and savoury texture, warm softness of tannin through mid palate, choc char to oak but juicy sweet
Associate Judge	briar fruits & varnish, cedar oak pepper spice generous fruits on palate raspberry style acid fresh
Associate Judge	Sweet juicy fruit with not much behind it, feels a tad blousy with no direction in the finish.
