Judge 1	Reductive characters aids aromatic interest. This leads to inky, dense fruit, with some hot notes on palate. Intense. Slightly disjointed.
Judge 2	Deep colour, quite Cabernet, some blue fruit, big tannin, feels a little dark and overdone, lacking juicy balance.
Judge 3	Super dark and inky, dark berry fruit with menthol notes. Palate has notes of cassis, bright acid, good length, soft would like more complexity.88
