Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1Rich, slightly desicated oak. Volatile. Tired.
Judge 2Very dark purple in the glass, this wine smells of dried flowers and oak. In the mouth, rich black cherry, black tea, blueberry and dried flowers are wrapped in suede-like tannins and remain bouncy thanks to execllent fresh acidity. A classic expresson of the variety.
Judge 3Sweet blackcurrant lactic funk, strawberry stalk. Deep dark yet a touch oxy and flabby lacking true definition
