Underwhelming bracket - too many wines lacking aromatics, which is indicative of vintage. Many wines dilute and faulty.Best wines showing line and length, good persistance and very fresh.Generally well made but many plain wines.

Not an easy class in the conditions, however the Golds represent vibrant fruit and ripe tannins.A 50% strike rate and maybe a few Bronze will rate Silver next time.

64 Brygon Estate Wines Eiptome Shiraz 2010

Overall a top class. But top wines good and a few at the other extreme.3 Golds - all different but shiraz at the core. That is spice, red fruit and medium bodied.Poor wines were developed, tomato paste flavours and unsympathetic oak.Our International Judge Hwee Peng to be congratulated.

Class: 10




A real fruit salad. Not quite sure why Cabernet blends in with Nebbiolo and Grenache. However, top Gold what the region does best andthe other Gold something for the future.A number of very good, juicy wines spoilt by poor oak. These styles are about fruit - oak shouldn't play a part.
