Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1bilgy compost character , wet earth and mushroom
Judge 2Black inky color with purple rim. Cooked blackberries with sweet spices, bay leaf and a touch of that burnt rubber note. Lush palate with more high toned plums, violets, pomegranate syrup and chewy but not super firm tannins.
Judge 3Savouriness at the fore here, brought by oak, a touch of brett, and game meat. Red florals lift the aromas with air, with ripe plum beneath. A round and full palate with vibrant fruit with contrasting the nose. Juicy plum, bramble, subtle spice. Sour acidity perhaps a touch elevated.
Associate JudgeReduced, cherry, touch of bark chips, round rich fruit, lacking fruit freshness
