Judge 1nice col, red fruits marzipan, very good directions and persistence , palate drives long and red fruited with good freshness
Judge 2Sweet and soft VS structured and savoury - this wine is a seesaw of experience. It is elegant and medium weighted, the real pleasure experinced deep in the core fo the midpalate. A kind of juicy succulence.
Judge 3pretty high on the peppercorn and char, good spice, decnt fruit, worked cap gun style, interesting. maybe some bunch there?
Associate Judgetoasted nuts with some light berry aromas. the tannins of oak are quite present but well balanced. food wine. full bodied and great persistency
