Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1great colour, pox, foxy, dryed out
Judge 2Hint of reduction or something similar on the nose - it blows off with aeration. This has a neon colour. The rubbery characters remain, although they are lessened. The fruit on the palate is cool - but the tannins have a metallic edge which detracts from the enjoyment of the experience. Ultimately a few too many distracting elements here to just settle back and enjoy the beautiful parts about this wine.
Judge 3dark brooding fruits, coffee bean, cocao nib, hint of animal there? palate a bit stripped and furry
Associate Judgeintense purple colour. dark wild berry jam. a touch animal in the palate.
Associate JudgeDeep red/purple. Saline, soy, plum skin. Nice density, light mid palate, dark fruits/plum, subtle xmas cake, dry tannins.
