Judge 1	Perfumed damson this one. Has depth this. Smells oozy squeezy. Which it is: lush berries and fine tannins.
Judge 2	slight herbal element, blows off, lovely vibrant plum/raspberry fruits, pretty. Firm chalky tannins upfront, lovely fleshy raspberry fruit through mid palate. generous supple wine with long fruit length.
Judge 3	lovely layered nose. florals are sublime. structure supports a freight train of beautiful varietal characteristics... big wine but well produced.
Associate Judge	wild strawberries. Fresh fruits uncomplicated with primary juiciness savoury tannins that finish a little dry. Not much else
