Judge 1	Slightly raw oak again. But fruit has pithy peel depth. slightly hot water. Decent depth. No lack of fruit power here.
Judge 2	oak forward,lemon curd, pie crust, yellow stone fruits, warmth on palate, rich creamy texture, fine chalky texture. Touch warm, phenolic edge to finish
Judge 3	very enticing nose. pithy grapefruit, flint and that struck character that puts it in the hit range. palate is also very good. Quenching, bracing, good length... some
Associate Judge	frangipani floral notes honeydew spicy oak selection subtle creaminess with grapefruit fruit and ginger finish. This one makes you think a bit more... finish is a little on warm side
