Judge 1	Vibrant colour and promising nose, blackberry, apple skin, good fresh palate, juicy, quite zesty, earth and spice and tannins do a good job framing and carrying.
Judge 2	Dark fruit with more savory spice, xmas spice. Oak and fruit interplay is evident but oak sits nicely in the wine giving a broodiness.
Judge 3	Mint central! Lacks fruit integrity and balance. Lacks intensity and complexity.
