Judges Selection [GFW23]

2023 Global Fine Wine Challenge

86 | Step up in bottle developed aromas; smoked mushroom, bbq meats. This continues onto the palate and swamps varietal character.

85 | Dull forward colour. Pencil wood, earthy, lacks freshness. Drying out.

83 | saddle leather, where is the fruit? tannic finish, notes of summer sausage.

83 | Horrid, obstructive charry oak. Lapsang souchong tea. The charry character is completely dominating.
