Associate Judge	complex nose, black fruits, forest floor, savoury notes red fruits on palate, good use of oak, fresh
Associate Judge	A distinctive blue fruit note undercut with a green nature to the mid palette. A nice linear drive of acid is erring on the high side but lifts the wine and brings a brightness that is nice to see.
