Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Overall Score 88
Judge 1 Hint of dessication to the concentrated, ripe fruit. Rich oak over everything. Good length. Tannins well integrated, persistent finish. Savoury and spice complexity emerging on the back
Judge 2 Mid plum maroon. Nose has a fair bit of menthol euc. Plenty of rich berry fruits to carry it though, so it melds allright. Charming and sweetly-fruited palate.
Judge 3 Reductive smoky notes, black cherry forest gateau sweetness - palate cedary bitterness.
Associate Judge vanilla, char, borboun oak.coconut cream, sweet oak extract overpowers fruit
