Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1big oak , grubby , maybe B , tannin a bit tough with pokey acid
Judge 2Seesaws between floral, fruit and spice on the nose. Not yet integrated youthful and vibrant. Blueberry, myrtle berry, herbal notes. Mouthwatering acidity, tart fruits, lots of floral notes. Well structured
Judge 3Pretty aromas of red plum and red floral lift with a savoury slightly meaty kick behind. Nice tension and weight to the palate which has definition and verve. Plum, menthol, red florals. There's lift and brightness through the palate and chalky tannins to close.
Associate JudgeAmerican oak influence, a bit raw and lacking fresh fruit support, palate is quite tart and dry
