| Judging Results |
| HC |
| Green anise, oak spice. Exotic, fig, prune. Christmas cake, fine and chalky tannin. Plush, with plenty of oak seasoning. |
| Nice fruit and fragrance. Floral with an hint of wood varnish (but nice). Soft and plush with enough structure to hold the palate together. Just a little sweet at the end. |
| On the nose the oak overshadows all fruit. Palate has some syrupy fruit characters and pushes things through with the oak. |
| Wood varnish. Floral. Nanna's good room. Spicy sweet fruit on palate. Formic. Short. Interesting. |
