There are places that have two orders a year (thinking sandlands) but it also ships twice a year.
I’d love a “ship all my orders together from a year”. not just for kinsman but in general. Would lower cost and carbon footprint!
Update - I just got my email, and it seems that they shifted the deadline back to Feb 27. So, maybe everybody is getting the same thing, it’s just slowly trickling out? Now to decide on duo vs tres…
Always a must buy……but will be buying less. I have too many already. Will give the duo option a strong consideration.
Truth be told, I’d be fine with 6 Hierothesion and 3 SVD 2 packs. Rhadamanthus plus two others. Now to decide. 
Any one care to share AG or JD scores for this release pretty please?

Do you mean descriptions or actual scores? Because if i was a betting man, id put my money on the numeric scores being 95-99 range per usual (so not sure how helpful the actual scores would be) 
I just got confirmation that my request to go from Tres to Duo has been processed.
I also asked about consolidating shipping.
I likely will stick with 2 each of Kodo, Kaannos, and Rhad of the SVDs.

I asked as well! Fingers crossed they’re able to accommodate now with the new structure

Yeah this has still been a tough decision… I was originally on the Tres plan.. And dropped down to the Duo. However it’s still 6 bottles per shipment in the Spring and Fall. I was usually averaging 6-7 bottles across the SVD releases and would know be looking at 12 bottles with no ability to pick and choose between quantities
Okay. I switched back to Tres. My guess was that I can skip various two-packs (as I can now with the three-packs), but Carrie confirmed I cannot. Tres really is what I’ve been currently working under (being able to skip an offering). While I’m sure all the SVDs are good, I prefer to keep my purchases to Kodo, Rhad, and Kaannos, and the Tres does not require me to purchase as many bottles per year as under Duo.
I’m sticking with Tres - it’s how I’ve been essentially buying now anyway. I do wish they’d consolidate shipping though, agreed there.
Anyone here tried Aphex? All I’ve been able to find were a few CT notes.
I may have missed this, but does the Duo “require” a certain number of purchases each year?
Duo is 2 of each of their 6 single vineyards, so it’s 12/year.
Hiero is not a SVD. So only 5 SVDs.
*Edit: I’m not counting the Aphex CF as mentioned below.
Carrie said it is two bottles each of Kōdo and Aphex in the spring, and Anjea, Käännos, and Rhadamanthus in the fall, and that this year, there will also be two bottles of the cabernet franc, for a total of 12 for the year. But, it could be that there is a 10 bottle purchase each year after that for Duo, as I think the cab franc is a one-time offering.

I’m remaining on the Trés allocation for now since it gives me the most flexibility across releases
Just got a response when i asked if the new system would allow for consolidated shipping…and unfortunately the answer is no. Two shipments per year (at least for DUO tier that i moved to). Bummer for sure 
Never saw the email until I came across this thread. Last week I was on the TRES allocation(checked Monday) but suddenly changed to UNA. Waiting for clarification.
On the other hand, the Cab Franc sounds pretty cool!
Looking forward to Cab Franc. Buying too much wine…

Actual scores would be great if someone has access to them.
I stayed with my Tres Allocation.
Passed on Kodo this round.
Took my 3 bottle allocation of Aphex (I just had the 2021 a couple days ago. Killer good with a 4 hour decant.) Strongly preferred that over the 2021 Kodo I had previously.
Snagged 2 bottles of Cab Franc.
Requested consolidated shipping to save on shipping cost but it appears others have heard back, with no luck.
