Judge 2	Rwph leather cherry and oak development vanilla cherry cola , biscuit oak dominated palate reducing length
Judge 3	Has some depth. Oak a bit forwardFruit and weight feels thought through, Nice fruit weight on palate well supported. Still in the mid bodies feel but with nice spice
Associate Judge	Loads going on here. Bursting with fruit (red and black), pepper, spice and a lifted cola note on the nose. There's a bright, refreshing acidity and firm gravelly tannins that hold the wine in shape very nicely.
Associate Judge	Ripe. Gernerous. Tea Leaves. Medicinal. Touch hot and missing freshness/ drying tannin.
