Judge 2flinty reduction, briar, mezcal aromatics. bunchy, great intensity and drive.
Judge 3Cigar leaf, bright red cherries and black plums - spiky tannins that drips with the lush fruit with hidden but balanced acid
Associate JudgeDense and dark in the glass. Very serious deep dark fruit and earthy spice notes. Juicy earthy spicy dark red fruits, decent length and acidity, lingers in a balanced sweet and savoury way.
