Judge 1 Little smokey / reductive / rubbery aromatically. Quite hard and shut on the palate. ok.
Judge 2 Perfumed mulberry, raspberry, blackberry etc, juicy with ripe fruit, liquorice and sweet spice, a bit of bounce and pleasure. Carries.
Judge 3 Deep ruby. bright colour. Ripe black fruit. Nettle, pine resin, liquorice, citrus peel. Intense tannins! Smokey, char from oak. Big structure.
Associate Judge Dried blueberry, violet, char, subtle soy. Great extraction, ripe plush fruit, lower acid style - yet ripeness should be applauded. Fruit is the hero to the wine.
