Judging Results |
|
leafy ripe fruit christmas cake palate has a thickness |
Blueberry and blackberry compote, candied violets, sandalwood. Lush and rich on the palate with mixed berry jam, roasted herbs, fine tannins - fall short on the finish |
Stewed plum, baked fruits, menthol. A ripe and jammy palate, with stacked mocha-laced tannins. Ripe stewed fruits don't carry through. Lacking freshness and complexity. |
Bright jubby fruit, touch of spice and dry herbs, slight forward, palate lacking focus |
