| Judging Results |
|
| Dark and briary, liquorice, dried herb. Firm tannin but refreshing acidity. Touch of development/VA. Appetising but a little bitter on the finish. |
| Bright fresh red, va sourness |
| Volatility and Aldehyde overrides |
| Pinchy lift, nice textured aromas, fine acid weave and a generous weight of fruit. Simple, effective. |
