Judging Results |
|
Oak over. Too much. Coconut. Lacks balance and varietal integrity. |
Dark garnet in the glass, this wine smells of mocha and oak. In the mouth it tastes almost entirely of the same, with the fruit seemingly an afterthought. Too much oak. |
Sweet and sweaty with a VA prick, SO2. Sweet sour and salty |
dominate oak spice, macerated blackberry, - dense palate, but there is a great abundance of dark fruit - cherry, plum, fresh blackberry. flavour intensity is high, structure meets it - good finish but oak dominate |
