  February 16, 2024 - Fairest Creatures and Where to Find Them (K&L Wine Merchant - Redwood City): Nose: Soft on the nose with dark blue fruits that are gently ripe and a field of damp, bare earth. Dark red fruits eventually comes out with some air.
  
  Palate: Rich and dark with a nice swiftness. Dark fruits, shiny and even bright graphite, which seems to be providing the lift here, deep earth and dried frayed oak linger into the finish.
  
  This is a notch better than its older sibling thanks to its lift and freshness here. Some hard swirling actually worked some magic. Another big TRB signature here, signed with thick strokes from a fountain pen, with ripe blue fruits as ink.

  February 16, 2024 - Mirror Mirror on Wall, who's the Fairest of them All? (KLWines and Flemings): This format really stresses more the winemaker. When speaking to Jayson, his approach was to move away from the SVD model and instead, showcase the winemaker and the styles of each. When asked about the vineyards, he did not want to disclose the vineyards used in the wines. Winemakers allowed to make the vast majority of the decisions, whether it is barrel choice, new vs old oak, how much juice from which vineyard, etc. Jayson was involved in the final blending for all wines.
  
  Big, young wine. Much swirling needed to bring out the nose in glass. For me, lacking a bit on the finish. Again, TRB style on display.
