Judge 2 Spicy red fruits. Reasonable flavour on palate but a bit simple and generic.
Judge 3 Brooding, ferrous, herbal-tinged nose, sweet, supple mid with persistent and pleasing tannins. Twist of spice and amaro.
Associate Judge Moderately intense dark fruit. Touch herbal Very good fruit intensity with firm, green tannins that dominate.
