| Judging Results |
| Gold |
| Best Red French Variety Wine |
| Dark berries, some ironstone and bracken. Fleshy but defined, lovely fruit sweetness at its core and great composure through the finish. |
| Liquorice and almost a kelp character on the nose. Slightly syrupy and directionless in the mid palate and fails to deliver an acid line that keeps up with the verbose plummy, spicy fruit. |
| Quite deep ruby. Cola, suggests strong and concentrated style, quite heavy oak impact. Lighter weight than aroma suggests, heavy oak impact, edgy acidity and grippy tannin |
| Dense fruit with some slight savory characters (dried herbs). Density carries through to pal, talc tannins, well balanced wine |
