Judge 3	Olive brine nose, sl herbal edge and use of solids, wet straw
Associate Judge	sweet apricot and blossom aromas, lime cordial same on palate, sweet vanillin oak, round, good length
Associate Judge	Nose and palette seem at opposite ends of the spectrum, theres a roundness to the fruit that limits the pleasure of this wine.
