Judge 2	leathery, alcohol driven, forest floor, overly extracted bold palate. oak is dominate.
Judge 3	Purple. VA is an issue
Associate Judge	deep red, good red fruit, nice intensity and spice on the palate. Warm on the background does not affect drinkability. Re-testing some signs of aging and VA (unfortunately), otherwise great potential.
