Judging Results

Judge 1deep colour, forest berry fruits. Vibrant and fresh on palate, good intensity just a touch one dimensional.
Judge 2Blue fruits, great lift and prettiness, sweet spices, very appeling, juocy yet dense and long
Judge 3embrionic right now. Raspberry cordial on the nose. On the palate this is very sweetly fruited with good concentration. The fruit pulls through the finish, suggesting a good quality source - red licorice and white pepper. Jubilant. Spice adds an extra dimension of flavour and interest.
