Judges Selection [GFW23]

2023 Global Fine Wine Challenge

90 | Intense dried cherry flavours with a touch of stewed rhubarb. Lovely flavour. the palate is open-knot and juicy.

89 | Shows some development now and has a dried-out oaky bouquet. pencil shavings. Solid and a bit dry red-ish.

90 | Very little aroma. Slightly baked but would have expected more development from 2020. Bright and crisp but angular. Needs more fruit as acidity looks a bit hard.

85 | clipped mid palate. what happened here?
