| Judging Results |
| Gold |
| blue fruits, juicy, purple colour, ripe, some dry herbs, juicy, very appealing |
| dense wine, very plush with some reduction. |
| Lifted bright midnight fruits - tight, dense, ingrained fruit and tannin - needs time |
| A tad eggy, also stalky and leafy, really subdued dark fruits. Going for big and bold but it ends up a bit clunky, sweet oak character on the back as well. |
