Judging Results |
Gold |
good wild bramble fruit, good character and life, tangled tannins, fresh acidity |
bright red cherry plum fruit and a touch of anise -crunchy and fresh on the nose and palate - good grip. Simple but lovely balance of acid, tannin and fruit. Clean and fresh. Makes me want tomatoey food! |
sappy milky nose, sweet fruited, angular, disjointed |
Dill, flowers, handsoap... confected and tartly fruited palate. |
