Judging Results
Medal / AwardGold
Judge 1Intense crimson ruby. Moderate aromas, plum, mulberry, vibrant ripeness, scented. Good fruit and extract balance, very pleasant flavours. Fractionally green tannin that puckers the mouth. Still good.
Judge 2Ripe and crunchy with nice bright cherry and raspberry fruit with dried spice notes. Good vibrant energy yet in a juicy and very approachable style without being simple. Well done.
Judge 3Great brightness. soft and round. quite compact but then tannins bring through length. lovely interpreation of style. beautifully made wine.
Associate JudgeClean, good colour and depth, juicy blueberry, drying tannins, slightly short?
