Judging Results
Medal / AwardSilver
Judge 1good, enticing, vibrant glossy cherry fruit, snappy and juicy, touch of botanical complexity. a touch simple on finish
Judge 2restrained on nose - some woody herbal notes and quite earthy. Medium bodies with firm acid and tannin - lacks a little fruit density but quite attractive in a simple way.
Judge 3subtle nose, tight, structured wine, red and black plum nicely interwined, tannins carry the fruit nicely. an elegant take.
Associate JudgeHerbaceous, paired back, red fruited style. Purity of fruit with nice restraint. Elegant through the palate with appealing dusty tannins. Savoury, phenolic finish.
