Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1Menthol. Odd character. Not very Malbec. Lacks integrity and balance.
Judge 2Blue fruit, delicate. Pal is a little restrained, delicate and pretty but lacking fruit intensity. Good acid line.
Judge 3Suggestion of some pure fruit and crunch, clean and some nice juice but doesn't quite go somewhere interesting in length/complexity.
Associate Judgemed minus intensity on the nose, minimal fruit, light tannin and overall structure with light strawberry notes
