Judging Results
Medal / AwardVHC
Judge 1forest fruits, fresh vibrant palate. simple acid/tannin structure and a touch hollow
Judge 2Berries, spice and good intensity. Purple hue, youthful and juicy. Good spice and well managed extraction
Judge 3How good is nero. Pretty, vibrant, structured, gorgeous fruit presence on the middle palate onwards - this spicy little number is on the simple side, but at not even 1 year old - I'm ok with that. Delish.
Associate Judgepretty nose. spring wild flower field. skilfully spiced quality fruits. cranberry, boysenberry, dark plum with nutmeg, cumin. combined with velvety tannins
Associate JudgeTight and up front. Structured. Dark and racy. Sweet black lifted fruits and bitter chocolate. Herbal edges but fruit fill mid palate through extension.
