Judging Results
Medal / Award Silver
Judge 1 Joven style. Mulberry. Juicy and generously fruited. Savoury edge. Lovely powdery tannins. Balanced. Line.
Judge 2 Medium to dark garnet in the glass with ruby highlights, this wine smells of black plum, black tea, and black cherry. in the mouth, black plum and black cherry flavors are shot through with black tea and muscular tannins that stiffen with time and slightly dry the mouth. Excellent acidity and lovely fruit structure suggest this wine will age well.
Judge 3 Sweet juicy jubey cola, sasparilla. Ripe yet slurped, high ph soupy, lacking tension and taughtmess
Associate Judge tart blueberry, ripe blackberry. gentle floral spice, alluring. palate has a soft supple structure. but there is some nice persistence of fruit.
