Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1Bright and lively, fruits of the forest, VA lift. Supple, chalky tannin. A little barnyard/undergrowth?
Judge 2Dark complex and broody. Although a little lacking in freshness this is a very structured wine with allot of merit. Heat is starting to show on second look which is a shame.
Judge 3Concentration to the fruits without being too jammy or condensed. Medium length on the finish
Associate JudgeDense dark berry fruits. Musk lolly. Big sweet juicy berry fruits, chewy oak tannins. A bit overdone.
