Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	funny dank nose, tyres/car shop/grease? florals, bigger style, sourness up front
Judge 2	Varnishy oak elements and lacking some freshness and vibrancy.
Judge 3	Red zipper, bubblegum, jubey fruit but reigned in with charry tannin, juicy acidity, va paint barrel?
Associate Judge	lifted vanilla aroma, red fruits and pepper, tar & varnish on palate
Associate Judge	Aromatically slightly on the more stale side but the wine had vibrancy deep within it. There is a real depth of fruit profile with lots of interesting berry notes as well as some larger plum character.
