Judge 3	Plump ripe cherry cola toasty char pulling primary fruit focus together depth and weight to fruit
Associate Judge	lifted floral nose, red fruits similar palate, cooling acid, hint of green, little thin
Associate Judge	Well balanced rounded ripe fruit, nice coca powder tannin work that envelops the wine and oak that lifts rather than overpowers. A larger style that is kept in check
