Glug’s Cabernet Sauvignon Show Results Guide indicates that it’s differences of opinion that normally make a gold medal winner.
Take the first wine on the list as an example. In Melbourne the judges awarded the Agnew Cockfighter’s Ghosr a gold medal with 95 points out of 100. Judges supposedly with similar training and tasting abilities at Brisbane, Adelaide and Sydney rated it worthy only of a bronze. Similar record for the Brookland Valley Reserve – a gold, two bronzes and one show with no medal at all.
Two wines did do consistently wellin the 2024 shows. Devil ’s Lair Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon won gold at each of its five appearances.
The Xanadu Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon was awarded five golds and one silver.
