Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score 84
Judge 1 Grubby nose, fleshy fruit but a dank, wet character that detracts.
Judge 2 Grimy oak. Burst of red/ purple fruit clipped by tannins. Chalky tannins. I like this wine....commercially challenged but compelling.
Judge 3 strange aroma and possible biological issue with this wine.
Associate Judge ruby red, musk stick, violets, light savoury style, fine grain tannins lead into moderate length, needs more fruit weight
