Judge 1	Closed damson plums, cardboard edge dense, slight oak lift - juicy fruit intensity and structured length
Judge 2	Rwdph Plum raspberry rose touch strewy dark choc mid bright juicy
Judge 3	fruit weight and spice, oak in balance, for me just needs a little something extra for higher points

Associate Judge	Good drive of primary characters. fresh. pleasant reduction. slightly short finish.
