Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1fresh red berries, some herbal notes, juicy and crisp acidity but falls away and finished slightly oily
Judge 2bright red fruit marred by a touch of burnt rubber on the nose and palate - simple and sweet frutied. Lacks complexity or balance - too soft
Judge 3peppery violet perfume, leaner red fruited style, quite light on its feet, lovely freshness
Associate JudgeIntense colour. Bloody, stocky, meaty core. Stewed red fruits, like to see more freshness. Doesn't carry the palate.
