Class Comments:

Spectacular fun to judge this class with 83% strike rate of medals which is great to see. Purity of fruit

obvious in many wines with layers of fruit, stalk and oak tannin, bunch, lees work and a whole lot of other

things happening. The layers are the interesting point of difference in the way we judged the wines. The

gold medal wines were brought together to form a final blend in a thoughtful and balanced way. While

lots of wines showed obvious reduction and advanced characters which held them off progressing any

further, the best wines were shining lights that were elegant and medium bodied.
