Judges' Comments
Ken Dobler
A light pink blush colour. There were ripe red berry and strawberry characters on the nose. The palate was restrained without too much fruit and there was an exceptionally good dry finish. That fruit and acid complemented the food. The acid and savoury character of the food gave a nice lift to the palate structure.
Doug Frost
Red cherry, redcurrants, black cherry hints. Some heat to the wine but it was round and easy in the mouth. The residual sugar helped. It had a little bite of tannin and a little note of black fruits that I found quite enjoyable. The fruit was a trifle light for the dish but it came through as a sort of black pepper note at the tail end.
Adrian Atkinson
Nice fruit and oak. It was, what I describe as, up and down, simple, one dimensional. It had some nice fruit and the food seemed to balance the wine okay with some good elegance and balance.
Kym Milne
A light bright colour. Some green strawberry and floral aromas. Light, fresh, delicate plate with nice acid. Quite long. A very good foil with the food.
Tony Allen
A bright pink. Aromatic red fruits on the nose and on the palate with some dryness and mouth feel. The wine was very clumsy with the dish though. Probably best had chilled and enjoyed at a barbecue by itself on a hot day.
Paul White
Very strong, herbal, almost ripe tomato characters to the nose. Even leafy tomato plant leaf notes. Very viscous. A fairly tight palate though. Tight in the context of short. The wine became harder and tarter in the context of food.
