Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Judge 1	Brooding black & red plums/cherries, dying violets and spice & star anise notes - structed mouthfeel and long length
Judge 2	Rwph rose and bramble fruits leaning tart and drying on finish little hot too
Judge 3	fallen fruit and black cherry, brown spice back up. Grip and tension
Associate Judge	A lighter, more refreshing approach to Zin. Still a serious wine, with long dusty tannins on the finish, but the fruit has a fresh, more red fruit character to most.
Associate Judge	Elegant and floral: Fresh acid and chewy-red-berry fruit profile. Herbal undercurrents add a savoury edge. Red Brick tannin. Good Drive from nose to tail.
