Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1Intense dark colour but quite aldehydic. Attractive fruit on palate but suffering from oxidation. Aldehyde character dominates
Judge 2Purple, young and effervescent; very grapey, attractively so, but too 'primary'?
Judge 3Intense core of primary fruit, zingy acidity keeps it fresh, plush palate. Ultra primary fruit
Associate JudgeExcellent, deep inky purple colour. Intense, fragrant black berries and logonberries. Even palate. Very good fruit intensity and length with balanced fine tannins.
