  Grand Jury du Vin - Republic of Georgia; 11/1/2023-11/9/2023 (Republic of Georgia then stopover in Paris and Dijon): In double magnum, complex nose displaying sweet subtle red fruit, strawberry, belle pepper, smoke, mushroom and earth. Medium concentration, shy red fruit, silky, cool and lean, medium acidity, earthy mineral, mostly resolved tannins and a medium long subtle red fruit driven finish. This has developed nicely in double magnum format. It reminds me Clos Rougeard a bit. A pleasant surprise.

  From a bottle of 75cl, rather mineral on the nose, sweet bell pepper, along with some sweet red currant fruits, the palate is deep, but rather light in body and the colour is slightly brownish, translucent!

  On the nose red-fruit driven, notes of plum, some spice, green pepper and leathery notes. On the palate still retaining decent red fruit. Tannins have receded and the structure is quite soft. Lacks structure and complexity of a very good wine but not altogether unsatisfying to drink. It needs drinking, little merit in cellaring for longer. Overall competent but lacking panache.

  Pnp. Nose is perfumed with some red currant, herbs and tobacco. Palate has some tertiary note with hint of forest and sous bois. Tannins have softened. This is drinking slightly off peak. Drink up.

  Came from a magnum this time, the colour more or less like a bottle of red Burgundy which is very beautiful! Transparent red in colour and very clear! You got the nose of sweet red fruits and a hint of bell pepper and occasionally a little leather! Very smooth on the palate, offering some sweetness along with a little fresh fruitiness, very easy to drink! Quite simple, perfect to pair it with well presented, well-crafted food! It really is a very decent drink! I don't know about the longevity of the bottle, but my magnum just told me it can live for another five years very easily!
