Thursday, October 12, 2023 - Jim & Michelene's 40th Anniversary Dinner (Jim and Michelene's Place, St. Paul, MN): Medium dark red color. PNP, drank a glass over 90 minutes. Well this was quite a bit different from bottles a number of years ago, 2017 and 2015 specifically. This bottle for me was particularly herbaceous with a deep green streak that made it feel more youthful, but perhaps that perception was not reality. I'm not sure. There seemed to be lots of ripe fruit, a mix of tart raspberry more on the nose and pure cherry on the palate, texturally velvety, as Siggy noted lots of Nori notes too with stone minerality. This was showing notable vanilla on the palate and it was pretty full on powerful. If I'd never had this before, my impression was that this was younger than it is, but those other bottles didn't leave that impression. 91(+?)pts.
