Judge 1 oak prominent and completely masking the wine. such a pity as was good intensity of fruit underneath i think.
Judge 2 Dark and dense - cocoa, raspberry, dried herb but propped up by oak. Drying tannins, maraschino cherry, sweet oak to finish. Such a shame about the oak.
Judge 3 Black berry mulberry lift oak intermingled with fruit serious and full bodied alc finish extracting oak voluminous tannin might need time to settle
Associate Judge formic and some anise lift, age?? Leathery fruit and some shoeshine, super tight and powerful, true to lineage.
