Judge 1 Riper expression with char and some reductive notes. A hard edge to the tannins on the finish, smoky sweet bbq.
Judge 2 Dark maroon, almost inky. Nose has some interest in the form of a bit of whole bunch, which is affecting the colour somewhat. Flavours of macerated plum and hints of herb. Touch greeny stewy stalky to length, has that spacious high pH impression to length.
Judge 3 Herbal mulchy notes. Palate lacks concentration and finishes short.
Associate Judge dried felt tip, musty carpet. palate flat and lifeless
