  February 6, 2007 - Chateau Montelena Tasting (The Peninsula Hotel (Chicago)): Food wise I thought this was the best match of the night. Paired with a Spanish chorizo and potato croquette with either chorizo oil or cilantro aioli dipping sauces. The chorizo oil was the far better dipping sauce match. Not a big fruity over alcoholed Zin which was similar in style to the 1997 Montelena St. Vincent that I had last year. Better body in this wine though. Integrated tannins. Very easy drinking and not overly spicy. Almost cablike. 88-89 points.
