Judge 1Camphor dark plums some interesting spice peppy chew characters. juby but sweet'n'nsour elements make wine a bit confusing.
Judge 2Orange peel and earth, chinato characters - lots of interest, rose petal, striated tannins, persistent acidity. Bitter wormwood/pomegranate pith finish. Austere. needs food. Interesting.
Judge 3Earthy note on the nose through to a 'dry red' style on the palate.
Associate Judgeleaf litter. a little muddy. Soft, fat, a little lacking in structure. Briney. ok tannin carry
