Judge 1	Over ripe fruit, choc cake and raisins. Some sluggish sweetness.
Judge 2	Mothballs on the nose with a thick syrupy like structure. Fruit has fallen away and the oak skeleton has been left in its place.
Judge 3	M ruby. More cooked, stewed red fruit. M- acidity, baked flavours, slight rubbery note, cleansing tannin
