Judge 1 really lovely red fruits, slightly blocky. has a very subtle aldehyde character, simple
Judge 2 slightly bruised fruit aromatic, nice savoury line.
Judge 3 Pipe smoke tobacco dripping with summered black berries and cola notes - fruit lightens up in the palate thins out with the acid
Associate Judge Closed and reduced, complex and dark in a slightly dirty way. Juicy and fresh on the palate, very slurpable but lacking in substance.
