| Judging Results |
|
| Oak dominant. Overshadows fruit drive. Lacks drive and complexity. |
| Dark and broody but questioning if it is showing a bit developed. Oak influence is clear which dominates fruit, |
| Bright colour, floral and dusty spice and pretty. Just enough oomph to fruit and finishes balanced. Nice wine. |
| washy, herbal mint. red and black fruit, some dark spice tannins. palate appears well made and balanced |
