Judging Results
Medal / Award Silver
Judge 1 Dark and dense - cocoa, raspberry, dried herb but propped up by oak. Drying tannins, maraschino cherry, sweet oak to finish. Such a shame about the oak.
Judge 2 Black berry mulberry lift oak intermingled with fruit serious and full bodied alc finish extracting oak voluminous tannin might need time to settle
Judge 3 oak prominent and completely masking the wine. such a pity as was good intensity of fruit underneath i think.
Associate Judge formic and some anise lift, age?? Leathery fruit and some shoeshine, super tight and powerful, true to lineage.
