Judging Results
Medal / AwardSilver
Judge 1Bright dense colour, opaque in the glass. Youthful and a little closed. Excellent depth and balance. Good length of flavour. Big but holds interest. Still intact and not pushed.
Judge 2Bright deeply coloured. Veil of H2S reveals savoury dark fruit notes beneath. Ball of fruit is balanced by fine tannins and soft acid. H2S hardens the palate too much.
Judge 3subdued, sl reduction, but subtle pperfume, needs air but a solid wine
