An interesting class that created lots of discussion. Downside - Too many high alcohols and unbalanced palate plus high SO2. Two golds were very enjoyable as 'drinks' and true to style. The 'cloudy' vermentino rewarded with a silver. An individual style gaining traction in Australia. Debate on this one was abut the V.A. aldehyde level was fine - bring o the anchovies and jamon!!

No great highlights - lots of ok drinks. Dusty vanillin oak a problem, just doesn't match with cabernet. Couple of brett issues. Gold a lovely cabernet sauvignon at seven year of age.
