Judge 2 Sweet oak, vanillin, kid glove, dried fig, mellow fruit - a bit dried out? Rioja-esque. Fine grained tannins, perfumed finish, oak prominent but very much part of the style.
Judge 3 ripe lifted estery oak too acid makes tannins pronounced and astringent
Associate Judge Oaken and port like. Lacks fruit race on the palate. Incredibly dry.
