Judge 2	Toasty charry oak, charry notes soft and plush but oak dominating the blue fruits
Judge 3	raw splintery dominant oak. oak tannins also distracting on palate
Associate Judge	Lifted, dark and brooding. Primary with some bay and ivy lift, choc raisin. Super rich and fleshy palate that carries the oak and tannins. Big and stylish.
