Judging Results
Medal / AwardGold
Judge 1Dense purple. Rich fruit and a good line of tannin.
Judge 2interesting herbal floral though also some VA here. lots of tannins which are actually very well managed. this isn't a showy wine but youthful and sneaky. the tannins are fruit driven, there is great fruit. think you have to wait for this to reveal its best.
Judge 3Dark cherry, plum, lean
Associate JudgeChocolate, coffee grounds, leather, perhaps slight Brett??? Adds a sweet attractiveness rather than a typical barnyard note. Nice acidity but harsh tannins and palate falls short.
