Judge 1 Oak is a bit veneered, dark blueberry black berry fruit. Fruit is a bit diffuse however. Not especially deep in the mouth, but has silkiness and length.
Judge 2 Eggy, reductive note upfront, shifts to concentrated plum cherry fruits. Brooding wine, warmth on palate, fine chalky tannins, supple acid, good density and length.
Judge 3 meaty, bloody nose. good ripeness and structure. some spice, short finish
Associate Judge Cold meats cold black tea. Fruit is simple red currant but palate is lacking.
