Judging Results
Medal / AwardSilver
Judge 1Red fruited with black edges. Olive tapenade. Deep, dark, dense. Clean. Good balance and tannin quality. Outstanding.
Judge 2Dark ruby in color, this wine smells of somewhat cooked fruit and a hint of miso. In the mouth, however, a nice balance of umami and berry flavors mix with herbs and a touch of dried citrus. The tannins are slightly drying here, but supple. Decent acidity.
Judge 3Slate, ironstone and blood and bone. Lovely cherry blossom and dried cherry sin, innately savoury and long
