Wine of the Show
Judge 1very good color, nice dark slurpy purple fruits , big oak , little clumsy
Judge 2Glorious colour - vibrant ruby. The nose is salted red licorice, anise, white pepper and all kinds of jubilant bounce. The palate is edgy at this stage, doesn't have the plush succulence I was expecting. Finish is a touch awkward - warm maybe. Really attractive exotic spice though.
Judge 3bright, juicy, fun, nice plucky tannin and moreish-ness. lovely fruit, maybe a hint of bunch, a good contemporary shiraz.
Associate Judgeattractive purple colour. Really juicy red fruits aromas with nice spice oak. smooth tannins embraced with a lot fruit flavour. well balanced
Associate JudgeAttractive lifted briar fruits, subtle oak influence, spice, red berries, concentrated, licorice. Rich, concentrated, dark fruits, lovely silky tannins, generous.
