Judging Results
Medal / Award Gold
Overall Score 95
Judge 1 riper nose, juicy bright fruit, warm finish, acid at the end
Judge 2 There is lift here - slightly green, slightly smokey and also with Campari/Amaro like, cola spice character - quite attractive. Fruits is perfectly ripe, bright acids, long finish, varietal tannins. Very good
Judge 3 Incredibly primary and sweet aromatic. A little jamy on the palate - sweetness just over-riding the balance of acidty and structure.
Associate Judge Indian spices and curry leaves fried in ghee. Violets. Palate is a little lack lustre in terms of structure. do I love it or the opposite. so polarising
