Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1 Nice red cherry and sandal wood aroma, with just a hint of leather.Tight and acidic palate with chuncky tannins and candied orange rind flavor
Judge 2 Colour? Fairly subdued nose.....Italianesque (duh!?), redfruits and spice, plenty and space and air on the palate with sapid, quartz-like acidity...stony, chewy tannin
Judge 3 stinging nettle, lantana nose, chalky palate, tannins work but too vegetative
Judge 4 spicy, char, well integrated oak on the nose. Quite sour on the palate, which gives the wine a almost salty taste.
