Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1raspberries and tobacco, bright and flavoursome , godd acid structure gives flow and energy
Judge 2Dark and inky in color. Baked plum pie with sweet spices and candied violets. Gamy note and hint of blood with savory elements as the wine develops. Burnt rubber note on the palate - heavily extracted, over ripe fruits. Tannins are fine just need a bit more time to resolve...1 dimensional with the intense and concentrated fruits
Judge 3An intriguing aroma of roasted chestnut makes way for red plum, gentle pepper spice and a glimmer of salumi. Nice lifted fruit through the palate. Decaying rose, plum, red berries, and spice. Firm ample tannins and integrated acid bring a cohesive close.
Associate JudgeJuby fruit, lifted mulberry, spice, medium body, nice acid & fruit balance, slight lean
