Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1Nice 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 2Colour? 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 3stinging nettle, lantana nose, chalky palate, tannins work but too vegetative
Judge 4spicy, char, well integrated oak on the nose. Quite sour on the palate, which gives the wine a almost salty taste.
