Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1Savoury 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 2Candied, lifted with some polish and varnish. Sweet palate with good length.
Judge 3briary notes - needs a little more fruit; quite drying
Associate Judgesappy cola/clove spice, light sour cherry, green tannin, slightly hard on the finish
