I was looking to do something a bit fun for Memorial Day, so I pulled out a sort-of vertical of Pepper Bridge to compare how it aged. Since we had a few people over, I was able to get an overall impression of what they thought of the wine as well.

Well, it appears I didn't follow my own rule, and I ended up paying for it. The wine was in a bit of a down period. A mixed up nose to start, followed by chocolate, coke, and red fruit on the palate. Tannins definitely present. Medium finish.
This wine ended up being 3/3 for me and the crowd gave it 2/3.

It appears, at least for me, that this wine is starting to come into its own. Ripe blackberries and a hint of oak on the nose. Good body and lots of black fruit lead to a smooth finish. Still lots of life left, so if you wanted to lay them down for a few years out of caution I think you'd be fine.
This wine was 1/3 for me and 3/3 for the crowd.

Black currant and cedar aromas. Also a bit leathery. Not as robust of a body or flavor as I was hoping for--the potential was definitely there, but it didn't quite come together. Black fruit and tannins on the palate. Medium finish.
This wine was 2/3 for me and 1/3 for the crowd.
