Judging Results
Medal / AwardSilver
Judge 1Bright fruits and plenty of redux. Firm tannins. Nice, but lacks a little fruit concentration.
Judge 2youthful, touch SO2, black cherry. lots of fruit here and vigorous fruit tannin rather than oak tannin. maybe wants a bit more complexity but love the balance and expression here, particularly on palate.
Judge 3Nice oak, bitter/sweet, cherry, orange rind, round firm tannins, nice length
Associate JudgeIntense, lifted, fresh fruits mulberry, cherry, chocolate. Linear defined acid and tannins, great length and drive through the palate. Well suited to class in terms of structure.
