Judging Results |
Bronze |
dank planky wood aromas, override the wine. very sweet on the palate which lacks complexity and structure |
Alc quite pronounced and pungent, raisins and plummy. Very dense and rich |
Fierce nose. Christmas spice, cinnamon, crushed nuts and date.Spirit sits adjunct to the fruit - touch aggressive |
decadent nose and palette plum, fig, clove cinnamon, orange bitter. great spices |
Little rusty nail profile on nose which builds to tar and pipe tobacco. Chewing tobacco on palate, with caramel curl and burnt toffee |
