Martin Moran, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Modern clean blackberry fruit with an underlying creamy vanilla oak note that is complimented but not altered by the food.”
Martin Williams, Fourth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Deep cherry-plum. Restrained ripe-plum fruit. Ripe, round blackberry fruit, fresh acid and fine long back-palate tannins. Food: good combination ? this is an excellent food wine, the tannins slightly assertive but overall a good match with the richness of the beef, brioche and mayonnaise.”
Brent Marris, Thirteenth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Ripe dark cherries on the nose through to the palate. Hints of spice, savoury and a touch of leather come through on the palate. Great balanced fruit driven tannins complete this wine. Well matched as the texture and flavour of both the flank dish and the wine are in harmony.”
Ying Hsien Tan, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Deep dark red. Fresh cool crunchy red fruit and flowers on nose. Med-full, lightly tannic, cherries, red berries, balanced. Dry, slightly lean finish. Fairly neutral food impact on the wine and a touch of elevated sweet beef flavour.”
Dr Ken Dobler, Eleventh Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Brilliant deep crimson to the eye. Attractive dark plum with hints of spice and vanilla. The palate shows restrained primary fruit but with flavour persistent long onto the back palate. Food brought the tannins in the wine into nice balance.”
