Judges' Comments

Mark Robertson

Very attractive, sweet, lifted aroma and a great palate. This wine had a chalky, mineral aspect to it that went with its sweetness. It was a terrific wine. A very minor quibble - maybe a little cloying - but boy! This wine had great length.

Adrian Atkinson

Light and bright colour. The nose is full of brambles. The palate is soft, bright, fruity but with some complexity on a soft, juicy finish. Some lovely fruit concentration, elegance and richness. Sweet, rich and concentrated.

Tony Allen

Sweet, ripe red fruit on the palate. A well structured palate. It matched the dish quite well. Both the food and the wine benefited.

Warren Gibson

Lacking some vibrancy and fruit intensity. Not entirely pure. Some stalky notes and a dullish palate. Lacking complexity and power. The wine, in combination with the duck, lacks acidity and power.

Andrew Wigan

Medium red with a low key aroma of stewed red fruits.

Kym Milne

Lightish, complex, savoury. Lighter bodied but with good, firm tannins. Slightly drying. Okay with the food but looked a touch hard.

Debra Meiburg

Gentle, perfumed, red strawberry fruit. Light bodied. Crisp acidity. Medium length. The fruit gently accents the duck meat and coaxes the sweetness from the beetroot rustier.
