Dark concentrated fruit but classy and earthy at the same time. There was a slight bitterness initially but it went away after an hour or two of air. A long life ahead.

Crazy Pomerol that is only 14 years old. Nose that is primarily black fruited, youthful actually. Would be a great one to serve blind to see what people would guess, as maybe some people could guess this was a French wine but I don't think too many would nail that it was a 14-year-old Pomerol. The entry was black fruit, youthful leather, black licorice, fig. A lot going on here. Finishes with some black pepper spice and moderate tannin. Has a fairly youthful nose and fairly tannic palate right now which I expect will improve with up to 20 years in the cellar. I do have a 1979 of this and am looking for this to be a huge hit right now. Keep or drink.

Grand Jury du Vin - Republic of Georgia; 11/1/2023-11/9/2023 (Republic of Georgia then stopover in Paris and Dijon): Wine 33 – Grapy, chocolate. Generous concentration, rich and sexy.
Afterthought – This was “grapy and ripe” but I liked it.
