Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Judge 1 Bush garrigue and Blackberries. Slightly salty, doughy through the palate.
Judge 2 Vibrant red currants jump out of the glass, lovely texture with graphite and grip. Balances its identity as a noveau style wine with a deft touch that places dimension and interest. A really intriguing example with ample intensity whilst still maintaining a bright, effortless silhouette.
Judge 3 M- bright ruby. Cola, oak, some eucalypt. Acidity a bit adgy, medium-light weight, tNnin a little furry but Ok with food.
Associate Judge Nose is a little flat, some blue to dark berry fruits. Pal is a little drying without fruit structure to support.
