Judging Results
Medal / Award Gold
Judge 1 Deftly handled adelhyde, lovely grilled nuts and pith, popcorn and toasted sourdough. Heat?
Judge 2 A 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 3 Gold, 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
Associate Judge Microbial issues.
