Judge 2 wild berries, touch of stems and green stickiness. dried herbs and dried florals. bit hot on nose. vanilla sweetness. red fruit leading to syrupy. a little sapid and simple, lacks freshness and grip but would be an easy drinker for a number of consumers.
Judge 3 Dark cherry. Warm red to plummy squishy fruited solid commercial nose. Bright and red, medium weight punter friendly, kind of wine that gets people into the variety. Good
Associate Judge Volatile lift, perhaps a dank barrel. A sappiness to mid pallet. High alcohol
