Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1 Slightly two paced....some sour acid and jammy edges. Oak a little out of whack too.
Judge 2 Darker fruits and a svelte mouthfeel, nice savoury backing. A meaty, charcuterie note mixes with fruit that borders on dried. Nice florality on the back, slightly hot on finish. A good whack of oak skews the fruit from centre stage causing an imbalance rather than a partnership.
Judge 3 M bright ruby. Cola aromas, notable oak influence. Medium weight middle, acidity a touch high, soft tannin, fades quickly on finish.
Associate Judge Blue fruit, vanilla oak, pretty, pal has nice brightness of acid, fruit sweetness
