Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Judge 1 Savoury dried herbs, turned red earth, soft red fruits and new leather. Supple fruit and slightly elevated alcohol indicates a warmer region. Lovely to see earth driven character in the wine but would like a little more fruit weight. Medium persistence.
Judge 2 Candied, lifted with some polish and varnish. Sweet palate with good length.
Judge 3 briary notes - needs a little more fruit; quite drying
Associate Judge sappy cola/clove spice, light sour cherry, green tannin, slightly hard on the finish
