Judging Results
Medal / AwardSilver
Judge 1Meaty savoury expression. Firm tannin profile. Nice balance.
Judge 2Bright colour, bright aromas with a balance to it some purity, flow, charm, definitely elevated tannins. Nice wine. Sangioness?
Judge 3earthy, a little initial reduction, savory brambly and overall pretty nicely constructed, pretty serious wine...good lick of rounded tannins at the finish
Associate JudgeRed lipstick warmth that time on lees vibe. Spicy red sancho pepper on the palate. Compact yet salivating. A lot of promise.
