Overall Score	90
Judge 1	black and red cherry fruit , a dusting of spice , medium framed wine with savoury chalky tannin. flow and persistance
Judge 2	Lifted floral aromas rise first giving way to plum compote and mixed spices. Notes of vanilla/baking spices. Polished fruits - loads of cherry/plum with youthful and firm tannins, herbal notes on finish.
Judge 3	Damson plum, rhubarb, mulberry and blackberry. God intensity to the nose. Nice full and juicy palate, with blackberry, crushed dried herbs, mulberry, and red plum which binds with a long acid line.
Associate Judge	Simple, subtle red fruit with some rhubarb characters. A bit tired. Nice juicy red fruit on palate and good acid drive
