Judge 1	Nice fruit wiht enough savouriness to keep it in check. Bold with with assertive tannins but seems to be in balance. Just a little oak reliant.
Judge 2	Good concentration of flavours, but little distinction of character to the palate or nose. Slight menthol character.
Judge 3	Dark and inky, graphite pencil, violet. Fruit a little hidden. Savoury style, dark fruit.
Associate Judge	Dark berries, herbal minty nose. Good concentration on palate. Juicy berry fruits, aniseed, spicy. Powdery ripe tannins.
