DRY RED WINE - BORDEAUX VARIETIES AND BLENDS
Judges: Pablo Theodoras, Bryan Martin, Josephine Perry, Matt L Laube, Matt T Turnbull
Entered: 29
Class comments: Balance of fruit and oak a key in top wines. Ripeness of fruit important. More red fruited ratherthan the classic dark fruit known from the variety. Green and overt minty wines lacked depth.
