  Napa 2023: the quieter version; 2/6/2023-2/11/2023 (Napa/Sonoma California): Side by side with a Palmer of the same year to do our own mini Judgment of Paris. This was fun. Opened and decanted for sediment and then rebottled. Spent about 5 hours in a cooler before getting toted around as we walked around for a few hours before dinner. Just like the Bordeaux this was totally ready for business by the time we got to dinner. Darker fruited and still very much fruited and more secondary style and really just a special wine. From a rather large lot of old Mount Veeders and if they are all like this I am a happy camper.

  Wow. So fresh here. Nice black fruit, dark cherry, pencil and mint. Done as a side by side with the 1979, and this was just lacked the saturation and power to get to the next level. However, on its own this is an exceptional classic Mt Veeder wine.

  Like the 79, this offers a purely black fruit profile but here it is demure and accompanied by a little dill, mint, and thyme. Clean, lightish, but nice palate.

  Tasted out of Magnum.
  
  Masterful. A beautiful aged wine with layers of complex melted blackberry and cassis. Lots of beautiful integrated tannins and gorgeous underbrush and forrest floor.

  Didn't take detailed notes, but had at Fred's birthday dinner. Drank from a mag, still holding up well, good fruit, drink sooner rather than later especially from a 750.
