Judging Results

Judge 2 nose is a bit worked, though I love the layers of rosemary and saltbush, dry firm tannins, great acid line and plush plums
Judge 3 BRight DR. Toasty oak dominates. Rich and juicy fruit with a hard oak finish
Associate Judge fruit underneath, medium intensity, elegant-smoaky style, well balanced on the palate with some sparky tannins.
