Well, red wine is red because it's colored by the skin of the grapes.
I guess the critique is that the tasters were inconsistent, they used [very] different language for the wine(s).
Which is definitely interesting. But not that surprising :)
> "jammy"
I had no idea what they meant by jammy, but according to google it's very fruity wine, low acidity, low in tannin. Ah!
