Judging Results
Medal / AwardSilver
Judge 1great coilour, lovely layers of flavour and dark exotic spices and cool stuff
Judge 2Vibrant and cohesive, this is exciting and together already. The oak is evident but well played, the fruit is ripe and plush, and this is in the perfect place for its age: it needs some more time to 'settle' but its got miles to go before it sleeps. A cracker.
Judge 3very dark, menthol, pepper, oak laden, sweet fruit, generous and gravel / graphite tannin. good.
Associate Judgegreat colour. good intensity in the aromas (fresh berries) with good oak spice. well balanced. tannins that lingers and great fruit flavour. persistency medium high.
Associate JudgeDeep red/purple. Sweet concentrate dark fruits, slightly stewed. Ribena and plum, concentrated, big lick of oak but balanced with fruit intensity. Juicy with fine drying tannins.
