Overall Score	85
Judge 1	berry compote with a lick of dusty vanilla , ok however a little non descript
Judge 2	Aromas of wild thyme, mint and bay leaf lead the way on this dark Montepulciano. Sweet spices with a touch of pepper dusted over black plum compote. Lush on the palate with a distinctive minty/herbal/menthol note - firm and drying tannins. Fruit pie filling with savory herbs
Judge 3	Rhubarb, red plum, crushed herbs. Good typicity of flavour. Nice juicy palate, with under ripe plum, rhubarb again. Acid is very high and its sourness a bit distracting.
Associate Judge	Candid apple, plum, wild berry with some spice oak, good complexity, slight forward soft round acid and gritty tannins
