Judging Results |
Silver |
Weight....both in terms of flesh and phenolic impact. A wine to wrestle with. Powerful and impressive |
Hints of struck match on the nose create a divisive start, a tightly wound structure grips to fruit that is shown as the main event, helped by a steady hand that creates both breadth and interest. |
Pale strW green. fresh hay-like aromas, soft shite fruit middle, impression of sucrosity but lovely cleansing acidity keeps it all in check. Good linearity |
Musty and a bit dank covering up fruit. Pal is a bit rough and becomes disjointed. |
