Judging Results |
|
Dark crimson. cliché-like nose of rich fruit and vanilla. that oak dries out the palate a little. tries hard to be more than it is. |
Bigger colour, quite extracted tannins, good fruit underneath, sl astringent alc, tannin, acid interplay, needs time |
dense earth/bramble.. some weight here, and density. Blackfruit/tar, forest floor. long, acid/tannin good but oak too strong. |
shy nose with some vanilla and sweet spice, mouthwatering acid, missing some fruit |
