Judge 1	Sweet oak sits a little above lovely fruit quality. Fine tannin is structured but not firm, fruit plush and generous. Just a question on that oak - allow the fruit to shine!
Judge 2	Vibrant colour, with hints of low toast oak. Some bacon, spice with finely managed tannins.
Judge 3	Purple, good fruit - varietal - finishes assertive, yes, but not aggressively so
