Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1dense dark and blockytannins are quite clunky and short
Judge 2savoury, structural style. riper style, oak in support but maybe dominates a little too much.
Judge 3Vanilla hued earthy wild blackberries - thins out in the palate - slatey finish
Associate JudgeDark fruits and some earthy spice notes, some oak and possibly stem notes. Dark fruits and rich mature round tannins, generous and warm with good length, just the sweetness of the oak takes something away for me.
