Judging Results
Medal / AwardGold
Judge 1Lovely nose with spiced plum and perfume. Complex dried sweet spice and black fruit palate with firm tannins and length. Delightful.
Judge 2Macerated fruits, mulberry, plum. Ink, cardamon. Ripe and fleshy. M+ tannins are fairly fine and build to firm the palate and balance fruit. Flush of sweet oak detracts on the finish.
Judge 3Charming red-fruited nose - rhubarb and raspberries. Red fruits continue on the palate - almost Malbec spectrum. Oak hovers above the wine a little too much.
Associate Judgehighly attractive blue fruits, some herbaceous notes. Long savoury palate, red fruits and ripe tannins
