Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Judge 1 Floral lift. Higher toned. Bit edgy. Some fennel seed and spice. Sweet blackcurrant. Pretty
Judge 2 Dark garnet in the glass, this wine smells of dried flowers and black cherry with a hint of smokiness. In the mouth, black cherry, dried flowers, and citrus peel are wrapped in a fleecy blanket of tannins and shot through with a tingly, zippy acidity. Wonderful fresh herb notes and oak emerge in the finish. Very pretty. The tannins are slightly drying.
Judge 3 perfumed confected nose with green notes sweet/sour? smokey, meaty. spice and oak but not OTT. good palate balance but lacking some freshness
Associate Judge Juby fruit, less acid, soft texture but no tension
