Judging Results
Medal / AwardSilver
Judge 1good fruit weight, good oak integration, just a touch one dimensional
Judge 2Flinty, gun powder funk, good solids management adding lift and dimensions over citrus pith. Long with drive. Has phenolicsbut in check.
Judge 3Lovely. Very worked style, but good pure fruit on the mid palate, extending length and saline acidity. All things in place - classy wine. Glossy. Oaky finish pulls this down off a silver
Associate Judgetoasty vanila and walnut on nose lemon pith acidity is bright need more time to integrate but nice creamy palette.
Associate JudgeLittle agar on front palate causing bitterness on finish. Citrus profile present but squeezed out to finish
