Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1Black olive and blue fruit. Slight confected edge. Soft, round, balanced. Nice texture. Very good tannin profile.
Judge 2Medium to dark ruby in color, this wine smells of earth and plum and cherry. In the mouth the wine is quite juicy with lovely freshness and cherry and plum fruit wrapped in muscular tannins that stiffen with time. Hints of oak and green herbs in the finish.
Judge 3Sweet cherry skin and paddy, reduced. Softly textured yet slight dryness, savoury anchovy pith
Associate Judgemuted dark cherry, raisined red cherry, soft fruited dilute palate, acidity just in check, easy drinking style butshort finish,
