Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1 Decent intensity this, but is a bit too cedary. Too woody forest timber smelling. Not enough fruit. Just tastes a bit too cedary also. finshes tight and dry on the positive side.
Judge 2 volatile nose, feral bretty notes and wood spice. wood spice on palate, creamy texture but lingering sweaty leather/brett persists with bitter metallic notes - Brettanomyces
Judge 3 serious nose. some really lovely fruit tones here but oak is a detractor for me on this. I like sparkling reds to have bouquet and vitality... oak drags on this here.

Associate Judge Bretty smoky and leathery. Not much fun for me here
