Judging Results

Judge 1	Dark fruitcakey: age? Delicious blackcurrant top notes. There's a vibrancy to the palate, and the tannins persist, but fruit drops away. Pretty good this though.
Judge 2	Herbal and hint of Brettanomyces, floral and bon-bon, confected, a bit confusing. Firm fine chalky tannins, warm palate, showing some lovely tobacco leaf length.
Judge 3	great nose - restrained, elegant, and layered. palate has lovely weight, acids seem a touch low and tannins are drying.
Associate Judge	VA dominant oak derived. Jumbled palate. Sour finish
