Judging Results |
Bronze |
Reductive start. Dense follow through, with tannic profile. Simple, with drying tannins and lack of supporting frame. |
Dark garnet in the glass, this wine smells of rich black tea and black cherry fruit. In the mouth, suede-like tannins coat the mouth and gradually flex their muscles as black plum and black cherry fruit flavors have a soft plushness on the palate. I want just a little more acid-driven definition in this wine |
Black earth reduction, blackcurrant leaf. Fresh juicy and alive, touch simple yet pleasing none the less |
washy, diluted fruit character. minimal fruit on the palate, short length, light cocoa bitter note. |
