Martin Moran, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Not quite as fresh as it could be for its age, but still has plummy fruit but is improved with the food as it seems fresher and longer.”
Martin Williams, Fourth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Mid-deep cherry. Ripe, rather jammy aromas. Rich ripe fruit flavours, fleshy mid-palate, appreciable acid and dry finish. Slightly over-ripe. Food: no improvement ? wine still tastes over-ripe.”
Brent Marris, Thirteenth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Dark berry nose with lifted violets on the palate. Ripe fruit tannins with slight bran berry, savoury notes on the palate. A good match as the food nor the wine dominate. Work well together.”
Ying Hsien Tan, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Med deep red. Oily, slightly varnishy dark red berries on nose. Full, dry, ripe oily red berries fruit. Simple direct, soft. Long. Pairing seemed to point up sourness I the wine without doing anything for the beef.”
Dr Ken Dobler, Eleventh Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Really attractive bright crimson purple colour. Complex nose with black cherry and olive aromas complexed with an earthy quality. The palate is long and savoury with those black fruits well supported by a long fine grained tannic finish. Those tannins looked much more balanced with food.”

Mike de Garis, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Toasty oak, savoury, maraschino cherry. Vanillin oak, savoury, sour cherry kicks in at end of palate, ok flavour, slight drying tannins. Food : works reasonably well, making the wine more savoury, moreish.”
