Monday, February 18, 2019 - MNB: Old Wines II (Jesper's): (Blind)
Medium plus ruby to garnet rim. Some sediment.
Dark green bell pepper pyrazines.
13.5% alcohol. Medium plus acid. Medium plus melted tannins.

Final call: Left bank Bordeaux, 1996. A pyrazinic producer like sociando mallet. Or a St Julien.

Although... it is very clean / not Bretty, which suggests New World.

Actually: 1998 Oakville Robert Mondavi Cabernet 14.5%

Analysis: Lovely! Quite classic and green. I'm digging this. Only one person guessed California.
