AWS Amateur Competition

6 entries, 6 medals, no golds but in general pretty happy with the results. 5 silver and 1 bronze. The bronze was for the Tannat and the consistent issue with all the judges was the high tannins which you might expect in a 2 year old Tannat, perhaps a little aging might help.

Not really, the judges were relatively consistent. I'm going to try each bottle to see if I taste the same they did.

Congrats! Looks like your Chardonnay narrowly missed medaling. Did the notes give you ideas on what you could do to improve it?
