Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1Oak over. Too much. Coconut. Lacks balance and varietal integrity.
Judge 2Dark 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.
Judge 3Sweet and sweaty with a VA prick, SO2. Sweet sour and salty
Associate Judgedominate 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
