Judge 2Brick red, med depth, mint, raisin, some tertiary and raisin on palate, bit dried out
Judge 3burnt orange/chinotto over-ripe fruit with drying tannins
Associate JudgeVA, sweet jammy fruit, overripe, big bold drying tannins, wow, lacks drive through the palate, upfront tannins overpower the wine
