Judging Results

Judge 1Massive colour and texture on this wine. Looking fresh for a 2010 and bright. Nice palate and fruit but very different and textural.
Judge 2Saturated colour....almost oxy edge to the nose. Insane fruit density on the palate, chewy, saturated blackfruits, chalky gyspum-like tannins.... impressive for its big-arsed-ness
Judge 3aldehyde notes, layered fruit and tannins, oak showing, pretty fruit
