Judge 2touch shoe polish nose. Dark black cherry, quite luscious but with enough tannin to frame.
Judge 3Ripe red fruit, soft tannin, gentle acid
Associate JudgeMore savoury, herbal style, some tariness, some reduction, rhubarb, lacks some rimary fruit. Lovely alate structure, beautiful tannins, a bit sour?
