WS Grand Tour (Walkaround Tasting) (New Orleans): Rating for potential, not drinkable yet. Be of the best quality wines of the tasting IMO. Big tannins need air but big smooth blackberries underneath. This will be delicious in 7-10+

Decanted for an hour. Intense, vibrant, structured, and complex. Floral and Black cherry on the nose. Warm ripe red fruit on the palate. Medium to long finish. Still very young but will only get better with time.

Suckling Wines of the World: just too young and structured to give a firm opinion on this wine. No doubt it will turn out to be another great wine from Fontodi but for now, it is all potential.

A matter of taste 2024 (Kongresshalle, Zürich): *** Brief notes from wine fair, primarily for my own memory *** Glass: Stölzle Universal Powerful tannin, complex, energy depth. Lots of warm ripe fruit, high acidity. Needs a long time to unfold (10+ years?). Potential for 94+

Trade Tasting (Monopole, Sydney): Polished oak, baked earthy, leather, black and red cherry, berry over muted blackcurrant fruit, sweet spice & alcohol prickle. Medium plus intensity acidity and tannins, slightly sour black hued fruits behind this, caramel, sweet spice on the finish. Beast mode.

All I got were burnt embers. This is reduced and way too young.

During a MOT walkabout tasting, no detailed notes. Very drying sandpaper tannins.
