Judging Results

Overall Score 86.5
Judge 1 Lighter, fresher style of Zin/Prim. Perfumed with some light red fruits. Good core of fruit although would like to see some more fruit sweetness for that style.
Judge 2 Light red colour - rose like in appearance. Not a bad wine, but out of class? If designed as a light, pretty Primitivo - OK
Judge 3 noveau style, sweet red berry fruit, light and juicy but a bit weedy and alc burn on end
Associate Judge slight earth herb, strawberry red fruit, slight lean mid.
