Judges' Comments
Mark Robertson
A big, arresting
colour. Wonderful nose. Floral, cherry and plum. Ripe and a
concentrated, powerful palate. It was very good. It had this metallic
iodine character, but the wine had exceptional persistence and was a
stand out in its class.
Warren Gibson
Dense fruit.
Some savoury, stalky notes. Great colour. Intense palate. Vibrant and
long. Beautiful cherry notes on the finish. Not necessarily the
greatest wine and food match. Maybe some acidity lacking there, but a
pretty good wine nonetheless.
Andrew Wigan
Beautiful,
bright red hues with a tightly wound bouquet of dark fruit and
rhubarb. Good intensity and great palate length.
Debra Meiburg
Savoury, wild
berry. Layered peppery hints. Crisp acidity, firm tannins and a
moderate finish. The savoury wine character accents and seasons the
gaminess of the duck.
Kym Milne
Fragrant, good
lifted Pinot Noir nose. A big structured style. Good flavour. Still a
bit firm but needs some time. Rich fruit flavours with some oak
sweetness still apparent on the finish. Good with the food. A very
good wine but just needs some time in the bottle. Still a little bit
big and a little bit raw.
Tony Allen
Quite spicy and
showy versus some, but it did not deliver any real quality and depth.
It tasted like a sweet fruit cordial when paired with the duck.
Adrian Atkinson
A big, dense
colour with rich, chalky tannins and some fruit. Structure was okay.
It had a porty nose. On the palate, this porty and dry red character
came through and it didn’t seem to have enough concentration or
class.
