Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Judge 1 Leaning into leaf, with a bit of dried red fruit poking through. Mulberry and tea leaf. Hollows out a little through the mid-palate
Judge 2 Spicey cloves and nutmeg on the nose and a palate that has a bigger profile of fruit but one that is assisted by tension in the structure that holds the fruit together. Slippery tannins make for an coherent combination of fruit and acid. Could do with more savoury elements to pique interest but a well made more full bodied style.
Judge 3 M ruby. Pretty red fruit, lightly leafy. Creamy fruit yoghurt. Bright and fresh fruit-forward style. Bright red fruit, cleansing medium acidity and fine integrated atnnins. Good medium level intensity and length
Associate Judge Lifted, violet, sour cherry, blueberries - carries through. Pal is bright with acid, balanced pal, medium + body.
