This showed really nicely tonight with crisp acidity combining perfectly with concentrated lemon/lime fruit and there is a good complexity on the finish with notes of chalky minerals and brown spice. This is in a really good place right now and novices and experts alike at the table really enjoyed it.

Old Bordeaux at La Fonda del Sol (NYC): A nice way to start the evening, ripe pear and white fruits and gentle floral notes over a chalky mineral base. It's rather rich and broad on the palate, but still nicely balanced with lively acids beneath.

Bordeaux (mostly 80s) at La Fonda del Sol (NYC): Bright and lighter than the Jobard with some minerals and a deft kiss of oak. Yummy.
