Overall Score	92
Judge 1	Dark coloured, more structured, firm tannin, complex mouthfeel
Judge 2	vibrant hue. juicy, pretty purple fruited violets. graphite thread. touch salted baked earth. such fruit intensity! whirls of spice, florals, freshness. acid lift and drive but chalky tannins to hold it. cracker.
Judge 3	Deep purplish plummy. Dark nose, savoury, not a lot coming out. Dark wet earth. Palate not showing heaps, not a lot of fruit. Is this a bit of low level geosmin taint? Not offensive but something nqr.
Associate Judge	Pretty. Violets spice, Taut pallet which finishes in a narrow line. A slight sourness to the finish and the alcohol is slightly out of balance.
