Judge 1Dark and dense - cocoa, raspberry, dried herb but propped up by oak. Drying tannins, maraschino cherry, sweet oak to finish. Such a shame about the oak.
Judge 2Black berry mulberry lift oak intermingled with fruit serious and full bodied alc finish extracting oak voluminous tannin might need time to settle
Judge 3oak prominent and completely masking the wine. such a pity as was good intensity of fruit underneath i think.
Associate Judgeformic and some anise lift, age?? Leathery fruit and some shoeshine, super tight and powerful, true to lineage.
