Overall Score 93
Judge 1 Lifted floral with tart cherry and cola notes which take on black olive tones across the palate. Light-weight and accessible.
Judge 2 Mid cherry colour. Opens with a touch of volatility then darker berry and pickled cherry fruits besides and a touch of interesting herbage. It possibly has a little Brett but I do not dislike where it's at. The palate has plenty of fruit weight besides, lots of red cherry and interesting depth. Complex and interesting. Unsure of where to point it. It's my favourite and most complex wine of the bracket but suspect a technical judge may point down.
Judge 3 Clove spiced oak, bunchy? stalks, red cherries. Cedar/ clove on palate, juicy fruit texture balanced by dusty, chalky tannins. Finishing with tangy orange zest acidity.
Associate Judge humic, cherry, wet leaf. dried tired palate
