Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1mod good, nice fine red fruits nose, good persistance , complexity ? kirsh and xmas cakey characters
Judge 2Moving into the salted heirloom tomato spectrum, this has a savoury edge - like cherry tomatoes at the height of summer. The palate is elegant, med-bodied and layered. The oak has a seared vanilla pod edge, but the fruit pierces through with a quiet clarity. Not a typical shiraz - one for the pinot drinkers perhaps. Engaging.
Judge 3lighter bodied, red fruits, pepper, some jubey fruits, simple, gluggable, oak a touch raspy on back.
Associate Judgeforest floor with wild berries aroma profile. medium low intensity in the palate. tannins are smooth and savory. lacks some freshness and fruit flavour
