Judge 1	Pure muscat with some complexity and age. Just a bit chunky on the tongue, but this is bloomin good. Great varietal integrity. With a bit more age, plus youthful material this could get even better.
Judge 2	brilliant amber hue, lovely rancio, all spice, cardamom lift, rum 'n raison, dark chocolate, unctuous creamy palate, warmth, nutmeg and all spice, rancio complex, lovely developed xmas pud flavours, bright acid and chalky phenolics carry length - more-ish
Judge 3	muscat colour - clean dried fig, roasted walnut, caramel wafer - heat is well hidden, luxurious and long. young and simple but tasty - keep going
Associate Judge	nutty raisin toffee rancio soft spirit some nice spiciness caramel and coffee grits enjoyable
