Judging Results
Medal / Award Gold
Judge 1 Fresh red berry fruits and spice. Fine layered tannin frame. Juicy berries. Lacey and silky detail. Pretty style
Judge 2 cranberry fruit , lacking vitality drive
Judge 3 Masked, dulled nose. Reduction cover it up? Again palate is a bit simple, good acid but lacks fruit lift.
Associate Judge shy on the nose, not too much fruit, campari spice, the wine is lighter framed but has a nice finish
