Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1Floral lift. Higher toned. Bit edgy. Some fennel seed and spice. Sweet blackcurrant. Pretty
Judge 2Dark 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 3perfumed confected nose with green notes sweet/sour? smokey, meaty. spice and oak but not OTT. good palate balance but lacking some freshness
Associate JudgeJuby fruit, less acid, soft texture but no tension
