Judging Results |
VHC |
Lifted fly spray, anise, red liquorice. Highish acid on the edge of tart, sweet/sour. |
Vibrant clean and fruity wine. Juicy acid works well with the grippy tannins. Floral, attractive and drinkable. |
Lacking in mouth feel with a slight green edge |
Pretty floral, violets. Liquorice. Musk. Good complexity on nose. Sweet, supple fruits, chalky ripe tannins. Good length. Very drinkable. |
