Judge 1	Pale colour. A dollop of fruit mid-palate with dusty tannins surrounding it. Red fruit and tomato with cinnamon.
Judge 2	Mid cherry colour. Slightly odd aromatic - oddly herbal over red fruits. cheerful red fruits, mid weight, nice acid and tannin.
Judge 3	Baked cherry pie with vanilla cream, also forest mushrooms, light cedar, smoke - primary, secondary and tertiary complexity - palate intensity, balance between fruit weight, chalky acidity and grippy tannins. Love the structure.
Associate Judge	dried rose petal, empty beer glass, herbal. fruit weight doesn't match tannin volume. dried sour character.
