Judging Results
Medal / AwardSilver
Judge 1Really bright red cherry and lifted sweet fruit aromas. Great presence in the glass and in the mouth for flavour and tannin. soft and powdery tannins, but just lacks an extra layer of complexity.
Judge 2Red liquorice, mint, milk chocolate. Juicy, vibrant violets, sweet fruited. Plump and generously styled. Open and unassuming.
Judge 3Red and blue fruits leap from the glass. Volume on mid-palate suggests intensity. Back palate is contrary. Lovely drink. Cleansing acidity.
Associate Judgefull ruby red, highly perfumed blue fruits and spice, soft plush fruits, clove spice, medium bodied with low acidity, balanced. sweetness noticeable on finish
