Likes this wine:

Friday, July 6, 2018 - opened this on my 40th birthday along side a 2012 Dunn Howell Mtn and while both were good, the crowd liked this O'Shaughnessy better.

Tasting was several days ago, so no score or details, but I recall the major difference being approachability. I tasted some diacetyl so the ML may help soften this one earlier than Dunn.

    We did have it with food. A filet mignon with a blue cheese spread, asparagus, and some parmesan mashed potatoes. But this was also a "second course" of wine after we'd opened a few others, so hence the somewhat fuzzy notes.
