Global Fine Wine Challenge Judges Commentary

Toni Paterson MW – Australia

“Rich and chocolatey. The palate is bright with beautiful flow. I love the classical proportions. The wine keeps evolving in the glass to reveal floral tones, a little fresh sage, warm cherries and a touch of fresh leather. It is one of the more complex wines on the table.”

Jane Skilton MW – New Zealand

“Masses of sweet fruit but still manages to retain a degree of freshness. Big silky tannins, soft plump palate.”

Huon Hooke – Australia

“Very good deep bright colour; raspberry, tamarillo and mint aromas, peanutty oak, palate is a bit tight and drying.”

Anthony Mueller – America

“Yum! Brilliant balance between sweet oak, sweet herbals and juicy just ripe fruit. Smartly made, balanced, fresh and complex. A delightful wine that brings me back for more, enjoy with food and BBQ.”
