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