Judge 1Deep raspberry compote nose. Palate feel fresh and with good acidity. Vibrant.
Judge 2Touch generic on the nose and feels a little flat and heavy. Plenty of fruit but lacks shape.
Judge 3lots of primary fresh aromas, plenty of ripe flavors but lacking a little on the mid palate, a little dilute
Associate JudgeRed lipstick face powder mum's medicine cabinet with the iodine and elastoplast. Purple plush almost soft serve swirling fruits. Unctuous fruit and a little raw on the tannin. Unfussy & delicious.
