Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Overall Score 85
Judge 1 Waxy fruit with leafiness and a minty palate. Grippy and a bit attenuated on the saline and mineral finish.
Judge 2 Maroon cherry hue. Kopico coffee lolly redux nose, overall a bit reductive for me. Not a lot of fruit getting past that, and some grubbiness. Palate has nice acid and tannin shape, it is a pity the fruit is hardened by the redux.
Judge 3 Tertiary dried cherries, raisins, dark choc, leather, palate complexity but lacking intensity. Savoury finish.
Associate Judge savoury, red floral bright. tactile crunch and chew to tannin. still red cherry spectrum but has, salumi savoury charcter coming in.
