Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1big, ripe, dense, lots of oak, power, shortish simple and brooding
Judge 2pretty hue, fresh fruit but very lemon based acid.
Judge 3oak heavy - bright soured plums and damson leaf - layered oak tannins and tart end note
Associate JudgeCordial notes, a bit of pickle as well, then some late white pepper. Bright and spicy with just enough fleshy fruits to come through. Sweet oak on the back takes something away.
