Judging Results
Medal / Award Gold
Overall Score 95
Judge 1 Good spectrum of berries here, spice, pepper crunch, mouth perfume wafts and expands, dusty tannins. Drying finish in keeping.
Judge 2 Nice fresh fruit. Juicy.
Judge 3 Oak dominating aromatics though some dark fruit poking through. The wine holds the oak on the palate. Nice sappy tannin. A little chocolate and cherry.
Associate Judge Soy sauce, hoisin, and fresh prune. Up front fruit sweet, drying chalky tannins, just a bitter pinch. Falls away.
