Judge 1 Forest berries, very bright to taste and smell, build of thick, woolly tannins, lots of character. Finish with menthol/herbs. Bit more fruit sweetness would see this push through more.
Judge 2 Ruby colour, fading a touch here. bit of dark lord here (Brett) - soil, saddle, barnyard. Crunch to the dark cherry fruit. Hard edged, touch short.
Judge 3 Sweet oak, spice, aroma. palate some nice red cherry fruit. Oak tannin drying a touch.
Associate Judge Perfumed - pressed violet + rose. Freeze dried strawberry, cherry juice. Good balance - drying savoury, tannin, fruit weight, good stuffing / level of ripeness.
