    February 26, 2024 - Decanted for an hour. Nose muted red fruit. On the palette - Balanced fine tannins with raspberry and a hint of chocolate. Austere finish. It is in its drinking window. After much thought, I think this wine is in purgatory. It’s neither Young nor developed any tertiary characteristics. I think we drank it at the wrong time in it’s evolutionary journey.

    December 12, 2023 - Salon Ficofi Paris walkabout tasting and dinner, no detailed tasting notes. From Jero, very good aromatics, but also a green streak.

    November 3, 2023 - Grand Jury du Vin - Republic of Georgia; 11/1/2023-11/9/2023 (Republic of Georgia then stopover in Paris and Dijon): wine 7 – Mint, similar to wine 3, chocolate, mocha, silky, big, cool, lead pencil, very youthful.

    Afterthought – Strong chocolate, excellent concentration. Very youthful and not terribly complex.

    July 16, 2023 - 93-94 potential this was rich and layered with a great structure and fine finish. Starting to drink but will only get better with cellaring

    July 5, 2023 - Quick note, this is still so young. Decant for at least an hour, it took 2 hours in the glass to open. Rich and brooding, still holding back its best. Big black primary fruit and hefty tannin, enough acidic cut in its balanced structure to guarantee the best is yet to come. Try in 4 years. Or, cool decant for 2-3 hours and serve with rare beef or lamb.
