Very pleasant start to proceedings. Two different styles - one main stream/soft but pure. The top gold savory and textural. Only a couple of wines of high sugar. Top wines/varieties - a good sign post for future styles.

A Great class to judge with excellent examples being found across all vintages. Evolving styles of wet stone and driving acidity versus floral/soft Riesling. Top wine outstanding example of mid age at 6yrs. Pleasure to judge.

Medal wines all ok - show varietal characters but don’t scale the heights to get gold. Most had touch too much residual sugar.

2013 wines disappointed, too many wines flat and poor colour. 2012's a highlight with clean bright spicy shiraz. Couple of very good mature shiraz.
