Judge 2	pretty green, red rhubarb fruits, ripe slippery tannins, good char, quite elegant and well made. nettle?
Judge 3	Leafy: sage and cassis bramble. Lovely structure and tannins. Palate is a bit of a donut. Elegant and refined though. Looking for a bit more fruit power and weight. Plushness.
Associate Judge	parsley, oregano, im in a herb garden, quite grassy and tannins pronounced, very drying
Associate Judge	tomato bush, tomato paste on nose, More about oak and less about fruit unfortunately, driest mid-fin, Tannins are fine but would love to see some more bright fruit flavours dominate. Quite tomatoey which would suggest shaded fruit, on the green side
