Andrea Pritzker, Third Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Fragrant bouquet of wild strawberry and spice. Fresh, vibrant and juicy with sweet strawberry fruit and supple tannins carrying through to a fruit-sweet, lingering finish. The wine was left unchanged when paired with the flank-steak, still showing vibrant juicy strawberry fruit.”
Warren Gibson, First Term Chairman of Judges, Eleventh Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Lifted fresh aromatics. Sweet fruited. Attractive nose, very fresh and pure. Lovely fresh and sweet fruited. Savoury and long. A nice match with the flank”
Corey Ryan, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Lifted red fruit spice alluring fresh cherry aromas. The palate is crunchy, bright and succulent. The tannins are subtle and the wine finishes with fresh acidity. Delicious wine. The pairing worked well. The hollandaise sauce promoting the perfumed red spice and fruits. The crisp acidity of the wine buffering the brioche and the beef texture well.”
Stuart James Halliday, Fourth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Lovely expressive fruit forward wine, pretty red fruit, nice palate weight, juicy and fresh, medium bodied tannins, in balance”
Susan Bastian, Fifth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Mid garnet red. Attractive red fruit nose, lovely sweet red fruits on the palate with well integrated softer tannin and good length. The red fruits highlight the lovely flavours of ginger and spring onion in the sauce.”
Mark Robertson, Eighth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Robust colour. Sharp iodine prickle on nose. Slight unevenness ? ripe fruit to over ripe/desiccated dead characters. DMS is an issue on palate. Grippy and looks stress and uneven. WF ? Reduction character is the sole after taste. Not so good”

Stephen Wong, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Dusty, drying and grippy - a slightly rustic style. There is some red fruit here, but is there enough? Not much improvement with food - the grip is unbalanced.”
