Judging Results
Medal / AwardSilver
Judge 1Slight reduction, but bright red fruit, some bunchy amaro qualities and a vibrant acid line all contribute to a fresh ' Joven growing up a bit' style.
Judge 2Plush red fruits, well balanced plum. Slightly confected with peppery fruit. Nice intensity of flavour and structure keeps the wine in check. Acid a touch high but bright fruit does help.
Judge 3M- ruby. Bright red fruit. Lively palate. Lighter weight but sinewy, elegant acidity, fresh
Associate JudgeUnder ripe notes, green dank characters, tannins are a little unripe.
