Judging Results |
|
A little reduced. Quite coiled, dark fruit, mulberry, ink. Firm tannins, dusty oak. Strict. |
Slight oxidation and aldehyde character on nose detracts. Hidden fruit. Palate is broad and plush |
Nose feels out of balance with the fruit being overpowered. Grippy palate |
Savoury 4EP. A bit lean on palate but good. Some red berry fruits. Gritty 4EP finish. |
