Judging Results
Medal / Award Silver
Overall Score 93
Judge 1 Bright colour, bright aromas with a balance to it some purity, flow, charm, definitely elevated tannins. Nice wine. Sangioness?
Judge 2 earthy, a little initial reduction, savory brambly and overall pretty nicely constructed, pretty serious wine...good lick of rounded tannins at the finish
Judge 3 Meaty savoury expression. Firm tannin profile. Nice balance.
Associate Judge Red lipstick warmth that time on lees vibe. Spicy red sancho pepper on the palate. Compact yet salivating. A lot of promise.
