Judge 2Toasty charry oak, charry notes soft and plush but oak dominating the blue fruits
Judge 3raw splintery dominant oak. oak tannins also distracting on palate
Associate JudgeLifted, dark and brooding. Primary with some bay and ivy lift, choc raisin. Super rich and fleshy palate that carries the oak and tannins. Big and stylish.
