| Judging Results |
| Bronze |
| Inky some dense meaty savoury elements chewy tannins and powerful. Touch forward with some leathery elements but solid palate. |
| Meaty, raisiny, savoury; lacks definition.Sweet and sour. |
| Bigger and fuller expression on the nose; fruit concentrated. Mouth coating feel yet with a balance to the tannins. |
| Ripe, a little reduced. Fat fruit, lacks fresh lift. Nice coating tannins. Prefer to have better fresh fruit.
