Tasting Group Dinner - Miscellaneous (Heidi's, Minneapolis): Intense and almost painfully young. Lemon and a hint of 2005-like pineapple/tropical fruit. Smoky, toasty oak. Ripe, energetic and lively, with flavors that build to a long finish. I'd be inclined to age these for a few more years (and hope they don't premox).

Wednesday at Heidi's: The nose offers an enticing concoction of tropical fruit, butter, mineral, new oak and barnyard. In the mouth this comes across as soft/fat with great flavors of citrus fruit, pineapple and mint. There is some structure and acidity holding this together, but the acidity fades completely by the finish. An excellent wine that is a little bit disorienting for me given Meursault on the label and little in the nose or taste that places it there. I'm not sure if this will improve in the bottle or not, but it is tasty now.
