Judge 1	excellent colour, baking spices and exotic dried fruits , palate is dense yet well fruited has great drive and a dense core of sweet tannins
Judge 2	dark purple hue with dark fruits and complementary oak, oyster shell and saline complexity firm structured tannin but a little drying
Judge 3	Nice spice. Good savoury elements. Beef stocky. Oak prominent but not dominant. dry finish a little OTT. Would be good with some food.
Associate Judge	lifted berries, purple. cranberry tartness with hints of tobacco
Associate Judge	Bright colour, milky lasted nose, dark chocolate, plum pudding. Palate full and rich, good length. Oyster wheel and briney. Old school but balanced and a pleasant drink.
