Judge 1	More dark, brooding, earth, liquorice, some good dark savoury interest, Like the spectrum, just needs some more juiciness to go with that tannin. Ends drying.
Judge 2	Med purple/ruby. Dried fruit, fig, prune. Clove, star anise, orange peel. Dried out on the palate.
Judge 3	Lovely brooding sweet fruit. If a little warm. Sipcy ripe fruit. Alc breaking the line of the wine a touch.
Associate Judge	Cherry skin, dried currants, rubber. Chewy chalky tannin. Full alc frame. Falls away short
