Judging Results

Judge 1	slighlty dusty musk over darker fruits, a little simple and confected on palate
Judge 2	Red berry, bright and juicy ferrous aromatics plush palate juci blue fruit. Palate a little one directional doesn’t carry the complexity of the nose through to the palate.
Judge 3	vibrant, primary, blueberries, savoury palate, perhaps little ID? warm
Associate Judge	Tickle of vege, some reduction, red flesh, nice aromatic lift. Slippery and sweet fruit, touch stewed with super racey acid, looks a little over under.
