Judge 2	reduction at first, blowing off a bit slowly revealing some meaty tomato vine notes. Hard and bitter on the palate - opening up more with time
Judge 3	morello cherry, bay leaf, lifted perfume. minty on the palate, bit astringent on the finish but lots to like in the wine
Associate Judge	Opaque. Red licorice, green herb. Fruit lacking a bit of concentration/ intensity, disjointed tannin, bitter choc finish
