Judging Results
Medal / Award Silver
Judge 1 Redfruit and briar. Lacks balance and complexity. A bit arms and legs. Pleasant.
Judge 2 Dark garnet in color, this wine smells of black cherry and black plum shot through with dried herbs and flowers. In the mouth, lovely floral and black tea notes mix with black cherry and black plum. Fresh acidity keeps things bright and the tannins are very fine grained. This wine needs some time, but it's a serious expression of the grape.
Judge 3 Blackcurrant bilge. Sweet juicy and slatey, touch of fly spray oak
Associate Judge morello cherry, blackberry, dusted blueberry, good tense acid with firm structure, medium length
