Judging Results
Medal / AwardGold
Judge 1Deftly handled adelhyde, lovely grilled nuts and pith, popcorn and toasted sourdough. Heat?
Judge 2A wine not shy of stylistics choices, there is orange oil and leather for days here. Some sherry like characters but the fruit below does have a vibrancy that shines through. A divisive wine but one that can certainly start a conversation
Judge 3Gold, brown hues. Oxidative, intriguing! Such a totally different style, in a different class…Could benefit from being a little fresher in terms of acidity, ut a good talking point
