Overall Score 95
Judge 1 Violet candy, soft purple fruit, forward and mouthfilling flavour with anise and spice. Nicely concentrated.
Judge 2 Inky dark maroon. Some interest on this nose. Some crushed herb over dark fruits, not just plump and ripe. Super ripe and glossy. PLUMP
Judge 3 Squished black berries, leafy, vanilla richness - creamy mid palate, savoury liquorice note, full-bodied style, savoury & grippy tannins. Big style but with mass appeal - needs little more acidity zing..
Associate Judge intense blackberry pie, sweet spices, nutmeg, barley. Density of purple fruits through palate. very conc but not to heavy. has skin tannin crunchy and verve balanced by black spice, cardoman, anise.
