Judging Results |
|
Waxy and overripe. Soft, but heavily oaked. Made. |
Oak influence is clear, dustiness is masking fruit. Again palate has nice structure but oak is a bit too dominating. |
Not 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. |
sweet 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 |
