Judging Results
Medal / AwardGold
Judge 1Red fruit and vermouth. Classic Joven style. Good balance and length. Delicious drinking. Powdery tannin.
Judge 2Dark garnet in the glass with purple highlights, this wine smells of blueberry and black plum. In the mouth, fleecy tannins coat the mouth as blueberry and black plum flavors take a slightly high-toned quality. Black tea on the finish as the tannins dry out the mouth.
Judge 3Sweet blackcurrant reduction. Fleshy, powdery, papery type tannin
Associate Judgerich red plums, red cherry, sweet oak spice, decaying violets, dense sweet fruit palate. lots of flavour, but falls a little flat and clunky
