Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1Waxy and overripe. Soft, but heavily oaked. Made.
Judge 2Oak influence is clear, dustiness is masking fruit. Again palate has nice structure but oak is a bit too dominating.
Judge 3Not the firmest colour, but fresh enough, black pastilles, nice balance and correct. Question on the fade. Nice wine seems already to be passing its peak.
Associate Judgesweet oak but does have a tart cranberry red fruit character. med plus acid and balanced tannins. oak is doing some work but has a refined quality
