Judge 2	quite heavy haze, some good grapey aromatics, sweet textured and mellow, with slightly discordant phenolic grip - needs time
Judge 3	broad nose - lemon boiled sweets, with a touch of mint - a bit broad and unfocussed on the palate - slightly hot finish
Associate Judge	Cloudy. Gold. Estery. Old banana peel. Palate dull. Forward. Tired fruit. Not much secondary.
