| Judging Results |
|
| Extracted and oak influenced. Heavy going. High alcohol and lacking in blanance. |
| Bit cooked, VA?, microbial? Palate is very warm, lacking fruit sweetness to carry through. Finishes disjointed. |
| A little unconvinving on the nose; not quite fresh and not quite deep, and sugar feels obvious upfront with alcohol not entirely integrated. |
| leather, tobacco, plum skin med intensity nose, high acid, full on, lacking some flavour intensity to match the acidity and the heat. stripped short length |
