Andrea Pritzker, Third Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Deep inky black colour. Fragrant and forward blackberry bouquet. Very big and tannic with lashings of cedary oak and very drying prominent tannins. The beef ribs dish made the lashings of cedary oak more apparent, drying out the palate”
Warren Gibson, First Term Chairman of Judges, Eleventh Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Dense, dark colour. Attractive red fruits. A lovely example of Cabernet Sauvignon, vibrant, fresh and savoury. A good match the beef. Long and lingering”
Corey Ryan, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Deeply coloured, lifted spice, black berry and olive aromas. Full flavoured, chewy textured, great line length richness. Well-structured tannins, ripe complex characters. The pairing works very well. The rich mole flavours enhance the wines blue and blackberry fruits. The tannins of the wine and acidity perfectly surround the beef structure.”
Stuart James Halliday, Fourth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Chewy earthy tannins, drying on the palate, fruit gets a little overwhelmed by the oak”
Susan Bastian, Fifth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Magenta and opaque. Ethereal cassis, mint and spice. Gorgeously complex nose. Plenty of rich ripe dark berry fruit on the palate with a great interplay of liquorice, acid and tobacco leaf tannin. Good length. Earth mint and chocolate all go well together.”
Mark Robertson, Eighth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Colour holding up nicely. Forward lifted aroma ? spicy, toasty, slightly iodine lifted and dusty oak profile. Aging nicely and the tarry, dusty, toasty flavours from age really are helping the wine. Obviously a good concentrated wine to begin with ? traveling nicely with exception of slightly intrusive oak. With Food ? linear, drying and obscured by the food.”

Stephen Wong, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Ripe, concentrated, and elegant with Eucalyptus and blackcurrant fruit. The palate is young but has a strangely sour edge followed by very drying tannins. For its age, it doesn?t taste as tight and fresh as it should. With the dish, the sourness is still evident on the back, detracting from the overall flow.”
