Judging Results |
Silver |
Deep dark wine, but overly herbal. Lacking balance. |
pepper/spice/tomato leaf/rocket; super concentrated and rich, so much grip and tannin, loads of black fruits/blood plums, acids well placed against the frame. long long length |
Sweet boysenberry fruit over flinty slate. Lovely chewy extract and pith and an innate freshness |
Muted aromatics. Orange zest. Lovely drying tannins. Even keel wine. Tense. Taught. Saline |
