Judge 1	sl attenuated, nutty, layered tannins and oatmeal, richer, rounder style, sl sweet
Judge 2	subtle dried herbs and crushed limestone pith. interest on the palate, polished phenolics, dried herbs a hint of spice, lactic smoothness. great length and acid balanced. So much character here.
Judge 3	Medium straw hue. Lovely fresh nose, that yellow apple, bit of almond blossom, maybe a little old oak. This also is a lovely drink, some nice weight, lovely effortless acidity. Delicious. A natural 93 but will pop up to 95 for the chat.
Associate Judge	white flowers. Lovely texture with a very nice acid which gently pulls the wine into a long finish. Apricot, almond. Phenolic on finish
