Iām just trying to figure out how to squeeze everything in what was already a pretty well stocked cellarā¦ These deals are too good to pass up. FOMO is one thing - this is another

Truly interesting business models. On one hand, the āleast expensiveā wines I consistently purchase. On the other hand, the āmost expensiveā beef Iāve ever encountered (so havenāt purchased). Yes - items in āquotesā are intentionalā¦please donāt hate on me.

Is there actually a steak site and can you link it? I tried searching for it and Google returned me porn results š«Ø

As a matter of public service, could someone out there PLEASE pop a Lot 3 and report back? It appears to be the first lot delivered (I didnāt order this one), so hoping thereās a charitable berserker out there thatās willing to take one for the team. Iām 15 cases in and would just love to see some actual positive feedback on the wine itself (not the bottle shape or color scheme) before ordering the next 15 cases 
The community would be forever gratefulā¦

Iām on the East Coast and have a case of Lot 5 arriving Fridayā¦just in time to take it on vacation starting Saturday (and donāt expect any bottles will make their way home). In short, weāll know what to make of Lot 5 very soon. My Lot 12 & Lot 2, however, are slated to arrive mid-vacation and have been re-routed to a holding facilityā¦but hopefully others will be able to receive those lots (and others) and report back to this board ASAP. Echoing sentiment Iāve both stated and read from others, our ability to taste and then re-up (or not) may be a short-lived phenomenon. Iām ready.

Pobegaād Lot 12. Coming in super hot and tightly wounded on first sip. Decanted in glass over 2hrs. Rest of the bottle is decanting in the fridge waiting for my bfās verdict.
Underripe red cherries, wild red berries then turns ripe bramble on the nose, some hints of dried violet and wilted rose petals, and the dusty smell when you kick some gravel and the dry topsoil just fly everywhere.
Itās hella hot on palate, tannin is still whacking my mouth even after 2 hours decanting in the glass with a tiny pour. Good acidity coming through. Black fruit jam, blackcurrant, chocolate covered raw bacon, some baking spices such as cloves and cardamoms, little earthiness like when you kick the gravel again a little too hard, lose balance, rolling down the hill and eat shit. Medium long finish but itās overpowered by the burning alcohol.
This is one really big wine, needs hella time to integrate the elements. Iām putting this in the depth of my cellar and revisit when I finish my Doctorate lol. Iād like to get 2-3 more cases of this for my CabSav chugger partner, but this is way too high octane for me and my poor throat 
. I had to take very small sips to mitigate the alcohol burns, and one glass took me over 3 hours to āenjoyā 
.
Edit: Bf thinks it has tremendous potential but needs a year or two at least.
