Judging Results |
|
Cooked stewed and bretty characters on the nose and palate. Disappointing.
|
Oak usage makes it difficult to see the fruit beneath. Tart red fruits on the palate, disjointed acidity.
|
Cedary oak. Too much of it. Overcooked fruit. Hinting at VA. Pick earlier and have faith in the fruit.
|
brick red, sappy vegeitive nose, light confection palate, green leaf overtones.
