Andrea Pritzker, Third Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Deep inky purple. Beautiful mulberry laden bouquet with hints of spice. Bright and fruit-pure with fresh-picked blueberry and mulberry, subtle white pepper notes and supple perfectly ripe tannins. The pork dish was not an ideal match with the wine, making it appear more chalky and less generous.”
Warren Gibson, First Term Chairman of Judges, Eleventh Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Deeper, darker dense fruit. Very. Pure and fresh. Plush savoury tannins on entry but finishes quite lean on the palate. The lean feel is still there with the dish”
Corey Ryan, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Lifted oak driven, spice, bunchy, perfumed pretty wine. The palate has some blue fruit richness, is rounded, chewy, textured wine with good concentration. Well-structured tannins, juicy style. The pairing works well. The bunchy perfumed aromas of the wine are promoted by the romesco characters. The pork buffered well by the fleshiness of the wine.”
Stuart James Halliday, Fourth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Pretty and elegant, white pepper, blue fruits, medium tannin structure, crunchy and fresh, cuts through the richness of the pork, and is most complementary”
Susan Bastian, Fifth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Intense inky, purple. Dark plums and hints of spice and butter menthol. Lovely sweet dark fruit, fleshier tannin, lighter lunch style. Tannins in wine pop out a bit more with this dish.”
Mark Robertson, Eighth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Spicy Pepper. Red fruit jubey aroma helped but dominat new oak. Simple well done wine. Palate is generous, not overly extracted and clean. Well made wine. With Food ? Peppery notes come through and work very nicely with the dish. Grainy, forward, ripe and attractive wine.”

Stephen Wong, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Irish moss, violet and tomato stalk with a lifted, slightly sweet/sour palate and very fine grainy tannins. Not a bad match with the dish, it does emerge with fruit on the end.”
