Class Comments:
While some wines showed extract and not much else, or were tired and prematurely advanced, we
awarded fruit flavour and depth as well as balance and finesse. Lots of discussion on this line up.
Excellent fruit weight and structure, some looking developed so the winners had a vibrancy and
excitement on the palate.
