  Berry and green peppers, soft tannins paired well with grilled filet mignon and baked vegetables

  Vinetasters: Mt. Veeder (Park Ridge, IL): Served double blind. A slight brettanomyces note here. Weirdly, a nose of Swedish fish candy. The palate is very chewy with intense, oak-derived tannin. Some out-of-place brown Christmas spice notes as well. Missing a midpalate, but reminds me of eating some cherry candy. My 8th, group's 2nd.

  This one did not improve much in my opinion. 3 hour decant and wine is just very so-so. Nothing great but nothing offensive about it either. Glad I decided to have this now and not wait any longer

  Cellared at 58F. On the downslope, missing optimum fruit

  I usually drink this wine young so it was a treat to have one with a little bottle age. Plump, full bodied, and well sculpted, this offers abundant depth, structure, and concentration, with a candied edge to notes of dark fruit, cassis, licorice, and dried mint. Picks up a whiff of ash on the long and flavorful finish. Delicious with a 2+ hour decant and has the goods to go the distance.
