Grand Jury du Vin - Republic of Georgia; 11/1/2023-11/9/2023 (Republic of Georgia then stopover in Paris and Dijon): Wine 11 – Slightly overripe black fruit, baked fruit, silky, and cool.
Afterthought – Time has not been too kind. A bit leaner, yet it seems overripe.

Second bottle tasting. Aired for 3 hours or so. Dark fruit, with distinct charred wood. Liked it lesser than the last time around but solid.

Decanted two hours but needs much more. Dark black color with Old World nose. First sip is a bit tight and tart. Mid palate is a bit of flavor layers but shorter finish. I think the wine needs more time but unsure it will be really full and amazing. The 2012 Ch Monbousquet we had last night was much better. It was a bit disappointing really. Some Nice fruit but not really full like a great StE.

Vin tout en équilibre.
ouverture sur les mûres qui se développe sur le cèdre. Basilic et violette suivent. longue bouche.
près à boire, mais pourrait se conserver (développer?) encore.

Decanted for an hour. Big right bank. Mouth-filling tannins, decent acidity a lot of dark fruit accented with vanilla/oak. All the fruit is still there. Superb finish. Opened up as we drank the bottle over the night
