Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Judge 1 nice colour, juicy lift and fine characters , resolved generous fruit tannin balance, oak detracts slightly
Judge 2 nice, bright fruits, lots of spice and blue fruits, rustic sweet fruit. slurpy, high pH, touch sweet or fruit weight?
Judge 3 Tinny and metallic, but there are wafts of summer here: the clack of a fly screen door, fried chicken, mozzie coils, the heat of early morning... and then lichen and moss. Palate has more characters to pick at fruit wise - black cherry, ketchup etc. A strange amalgam of memories, flavours and feelings. No cohesive.
Associate Judge Christmas cake, macerated cherries, cloves, anise, drying back palate but a touch of raisins
Associate Judge lifted, raspberry and lemonade, tomato concentrate, generous front palate, juicy, tannins a touch squeaky, Great length. a generous wine. Nice acid, youthful, moreish, good length,
