Judge 2 touch shoe polish nose. Dark black cherry, quite luscious but with enough tannin to frame.
Judge 3 Ripe red fruit, soft tannin, gentle acid
Associate Judge More savoury, herbal style, some tariness, some reduction, rhubarb, lacks some rimary fruit. Lovely alate structure, beautiful tannins, a bit sour?
