Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1mod col, quite oaky , palate little tired and faded, oak lactone and malo characters
Judge 2Flinty and rich, a mouthful of flavour. Plenty of interest and intensity. There is a parrafin wax character through the midpalate. Want to see a tad more freshness in this wine - even though it is 2017.
Judge 3older, some more toasty characters, spice, citrus, some wax and lanolin, fruit falling away
Associate Judgea bit funky but warm feeling in the palate.
Associate JudgeSlight dusty, dirty, covering nice fruit. Nice acid, fleshy white fruits and lime. Let down by nose.
