Judges' Comments
Andrew Wigan
Attractive,
bright, medium red colour with briary red fruits coming through and a
pleasant, lightly structured palate.
Warren Gibson
Lightish colour.
Spicy with some raisin notes. Very typical, spicy raisin notes on the
palate. Quite long and not overly alcoholic nor sweet on the finish.
There is acidity there which helps with the food matching. The
sweetness and the lingering finish seem to be extended in the food
matching. An excellent example.
Debra Meiburg
Bright red berry
fruit with attractive prune hints. Refreshing acidity, excellent
terpicity. Good fruit definition. Subtlety. Layers of flavour.
Lengthy, flavourable finish. Fantastic with the savoury Asian pork
spices. It matched the nutmeg spice, punch for punch.
Mark Robertson
Lighter colour
with dusty, earthy characters on the nose. What fruit is there is
bright, reminiscent of currants and gooseberries but this wine has a
driving oak. It’s not bad. It’s leaner and the volatile acidity
shows through with food which is interesting.
Adrian Atkinson
A medium brick
colour. A lifted, tutti frutti strawberry nose. On the palate, it had
a slightly dry hollowness but with some nice flavours. With the food,
you got a bolt of juicy, racy, acidity. It had nice balance and
concentration.
Tony Allen
Ripe rhubarb and
juicy blueberry fruit on the nose offered much, however the palate
was quite linear and short. Rather dominant with the food, but it
looked much more attractive. The wine benefited from the food.
Kym Milne
Bright varietal
fruit. Berry, mulberry and ripe strawberry characters with a touch of
pepper. Quite spicy. A very juicy palate. Mulberry, strawberry
flavours and a touch of jam. Very fruity and bright with some
noticeable acidity and a touch of sweetness. A very fresh, bright,
easy drinking red. It was okay with the food. The acid stood over a
little, but the wine is a very good light bodied red and would be
great with pasta dishes.
