Class Comments: A seriously disappointing class. Too many green & phenolic wines.
Reduction was also a major issue.

Class Comments: A class full of sweet & neutral wines. The main issues were advancement & sulphides.
The Silver medal wines showed better balance and/or character but were essentially under fruited.
Class Comments: A very ordinary class with lots of plain vinous wines. There were a few interesting ones
with wines 18 & 22 standing out for different reasons but still not quite having enough to get them over
the line to Gold.

Class 15. Sweet white table wine, Dessert Style, unfortified, any variety
or blend. Any vintage.
Class Comments: An excellent strike rate for such a small class. Lots of well made wines with the Silvers
mainly missing out due to sweet verse sacid balance. The top wine displays varietal character & excellent
balance with precision.
Class Comments: The Top Wine is a standout with freshness & vibrancy. Some of the other wines looked a
bit tired and simple.
Class 16. Light red or Rose table wine - For early consumption, 2012 or

Class Comments: A pretty uninspiring class. Many wines were far too sweet and relied on this sweetness
for flavour. Others were advanced or had sulphide issues. Top Silver had character & finished dry but was
ultimately under fruited.
Class Comments: NSW has a lot to learn about Pinot Noir. The main issues were volatility, advancement &
general lack of Pinot Noir character. The top pointed wine showed pinot character & was a step in the right
direction. It just needs more fruit weight on the back palate & finer tannins.

Class 20. Dry red table wine, Bordeaux style blends. Blends of Cabernet
Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot. Any Vintage.
Class Comments: Unfortunately a very poor class. Care has to be taken to get the grapes ripe & to maintain
freshness. Many wines were prematurely developed & a couple were suffering major microbial issues. The
top was a shining light showing ripe varietal character, appropriate structure & freshness.
Class Comments: A class of two halves. Younger wines generally looked really good. The older wines are
starting to look plain & dull some with microbial issues. The top wine was an absolute standout with
youthful freshness & varietal character.
