Judge 1Med+ intensity, dark fruit, savoury. Saline/seaweed character, undergrowth. Dark fruit, firm tannin. Aspirational style but does it have the fruit to carry all that structure?
Judge 2Lovely fragrant nose. quite floral but still lots of intensity and blue berry fruit. Palate is balanced with a nice core of acid and good length.
Judge 3Savoury edge to the nose as main focus; balanced but slightly grippy tannins. Good length
Associate JudgeDied petals, pencil oak. Med weight palate, delicate fruits. Drying tannin.
