When she saw my '06 Jordan, my extremely competitive mother-in-law produced a '96 Ch. Meyney. Meanwhile, my father-in-law incinerated the NY strip steaks. The Meyney showed nicely, although it was thinning and signaling an end-of-life experience. The Jordan was rich and powerful - a good match for the carbonized beef - and probably could have used some decanting, but it's not a CA bomber (which is why I like it), and is a complex and smartly made wine that will be showing even better in a couple years. My mother-in-law, of course, hated every drop of it.
