Judging Results |
Bronze |
lovely intensity of blackcurrant varietal fruit, chewy, mouth-aromatic, slightly cherry character |
reduction at first, blowing off a bit slowly revealing some meaty tomato vine notes. Hard and bitter on the palate - opening up more with time |
morello cherry, bay leaf, lifted perfume. minty on the palate, bit astringent on the finish but lots to like in the wine |
Opaque. Red licorice, green herb. Fruit lacking a bit of concentration/ intensity, disjointed tannin, bitter choc finish |
