  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.
