Judging Results
Medal / AwardSilver
Judge 1Lovely quintessential nebbiolo character with lifted floral nose and meaty tar notes to follow. Perhaps slightly lacking in intensity but still very good attempt. Aromatics have increased with air and the juicy acidity integrates nicely with the grippy fine tannins.
Judge 2rose petal, aromatic, dense fruit, good acid and structure
Judge 3sweet fruit and tar, varnish. dried orange, dusty and a touch bitter. good tannin structure and length
Associate JudgeRipe cherry, aniseed, leather. Prickly acid.on finish. Good intensity of flavour on palate. Good length. Ripe dusty tannins.
