Judge 1	leafy, straw, silage like, sl sinewy tannin, rotting leaf litter, tarry, well managed tannin
Judge 2	slightly odd meaty nose. black fruit and brackish. syrupy fruit, lacks detail and tannins. A bit flabby overall.
Judge 3	Cherry maroon. This is in your tinned bean zone for the methoxies. Not so vibrant. A bit tinned corn DMSy.
Associate Judge	Bell pepper, tomato leaf, dried capsicum. Quite a soft palate with tannin gently but enough to carry through. A less ripe example of Franc but I really like it. Balanced.
