Over 40 top wine experts from across Asia joined judging panel this year, led by Chair Steven Spurrier, Decanter’s consultant editor, and vice-chairs Ch’ng Poh Tiong, Shinya Tasaki, Gerard Basset MW MS OBE, Michael Hill Smith MW, Andrew Jefford and DecanterChina columnist Li Demei.
Judges gathered together in Hong Kong on 5-9 September to blind taste wines through organised flights.
To enhance the judging process at DAWA 2016, Decanter has given every single wine tasted an individual score.
Wines that meet the required quality are given a seal of approval (commended), or a bronze, silver, or gold medal.
All gold medal-winning wines within each category are re-tasted and a platinum medal is awarded to the best wine in each category.
Each platinum medal winner from around the world is then pitted against each other to win the Platinum Best in Show accolade – a new category level for 2016.
