Judging Results |
Bronze |
Solid. A little four square |
fresh, juicy quaffer but too light on fruit to balance the alcohol warmth |
Very well made wine with polish. Question on the lack of freshness. Great length and poise. |
bright berry fruit, nice juicy red fruit, savoury fruit, core good line clean chewy tannin |
