JD Friday Wine Group - GA Host (Dinner) (City Club FW - Oak Bar): Tasted blind - thank you CellarTracker for differentiating the wine closure. This one was the screwcap. And compared to the 2012 Odette Reserve and the 2013 Eisele, this one seemed so young. Like not ready. From 750. Host decanted 4-5 hours before serving. It was deep and dark in the glass, and had a very reserved nose. Huge tannins, lots of blue dominant fruit. I would love to compare this one to the cork bottle, and see if the cork has allowed actual development of the wine. I was surprised to hear the age on this one, it just didn't taste like a 16+ year old wine.

Fully integrated tannins. This is in a great spot now, but I don't know if it will hang on for the long run.
