Judge 1	Pleasant shrub - though a question over leafiness? - and blackberry nose, pure and quite zesty. Aniseed, Very juicy, naked feel, grapey tannins are elevated but feel true.
Judge 2	Peppercorn mint dark fruit. Firm tannin and fruit texture. floral and fragrant. Nice tannin and length. sweetness in there
Judge 3	slight fennel note. lovely texture. blue fruits. balanced.
Associate Judge	Tapenade, olive brine, herbal, dark brooding fruit. Smells warm. Tannins are powdery and directional, yet the wine is dominated by alc warmth.
