Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1dark brooding berries , blackberry licorice . chunky tannin weighs heavily on the palate , acid/ grren kick
Judge 2Classic in color. Aromas are intense and pour out of the glass. Blackberry compote with sweet spices, licorice, cola and burnt herbs. Firm, dense and concentrated. Intense palate but not out of bounds - finishes hot and a touch roasted
Judge 3Vanillin oak at the fore aromatically, which blankets any fruit purity. Quite fruity in it's aesthetic, without much lenght.
Associate JudgeChar, high toast oak a bit over powering. Rich fruit cake, firm tannins and dry savoury finish
