Judging Results |
Bronze |
good col , cherry berry colar, fine palate nice if obvs sweet oak |
Soft nose - cushy red fruits laced with licorice root. The palate has fine tannins that show a minerality and steel. Some alcohol evident through the finish. This is an elegant style with moderate length. |
good, raspberry conserve, pepper and spice, varietal things, light bodied, very malleable and fun, soft, high pH, easy to the eye. |
some ageing character. dry sultanas and plums. subtle and savory tannins. missing some fruit flavour on the palate. medium persistency |
Red/red. Complex developed characters on the nose - leather savoury and cooking spice notes. Generous and juicy, showing age, fruit missing in mid palate. Nice wine with developed notes but lacks freshness. |
