Judging Results
Medal / AwardSilver
Judge 1Nice colour, but lacking lift and varietal definition on the nose and palate. Dry red like.
Judge 2Dark fruit, savoury. Bay, thyme, green olive brine. Firm structure, just enough fruit to balance, and then a flush of fresh fruit to finish. Long.
Judge 3Lifted aromatics. Crunchy, bright red fruits tempered by assured tannins. Modern and rustic at once.
Associate Judgedeep ruby red, dark chocolate, mint, full bodied palate, complex, long finish, great structure
