Class Comment: The results speak volumes for Grenache based blends in this region. The top wines were quite stylistically
diverse, but all displayed ripe vibrant fruit and delicious texture. Slightly more challenging when it came to judging the older wines
with lots of tired, extracted, overripe characters. Best wine in this section had complex structure and fine acid line balanced with
pure savoury fruit.
