Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1 Lush fruit sweetness, a bold approach to ripeness. Acid just looks like its an adjustment rather than being part of the wine's DNA
Judge 2 An extracted and quite hot wine. Lots of deeply lushious fruit with a syrup like texture. Tannins are slightly sticky and fail to have the tenacity to hold the wine in place.
Judge 3 M bright ruby. Aldehydic, grubby aroma. Hard dried-out middle. Short. Out of condition
Associate Judge Jammy, trifle vibes - VA. Pal has sweet sour going.
