Judging Results |
Silver |
Exotic spices/rose petal dark cherries/plums . touch prune/ heat. |
Wet cement tannins, slightly muddy flavour profile, with herbal and white pepper lift. Pokey (alcohol) finish. |
Softer and rounder than many of the bracket - still with discernible yet balanced tannins. Much more lifted perfume to the wine, quite 'feminine' compared against others. |
LM Garnet red. Heady, lifted nose. Raspberry, Strawberry, CDR-like prettiness. Lovely sloshy palate, juicy red berry fruit with balance and matched velvet tannins. A lighter example w presence? Nice finish. |
