Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	85
Judge 1	All three wines look like Australian interpretations of the variety. Oldest wine has distinct oak and some microbial meatiness, palate a little dried out. Second wine a more muscular style, inky with coiled tannin but some fruit holding on, baked blackberry. Youngest wine is structured with assertive tannin and varnish oak.
Judge 2	rich and complex older wines showing good tempranillo character. youngest vintage a bit closed at present
Judge 3	Fruit ripeness and varietal typicity on show; tannins elevated but a little uneven in feel (wood) and in the fruit energy (acidity) they are framing. Not convinced yet that stamp of provenance is there across these.
Judge 4	Clearly very youthful in the 2024 with perfumed purple fruit but youthfully raw and taut tannins. Lovely length, concentration and structure in the 2018. Slight lack of power in the 2015. Good purity across the board
Judge 5	tight bracket. taut, mineral and expressive, youngest wine quite soft
