1999 Clos du Bois Marlstone

[winoweenie]

The oldest son of my neighbor Professor Bob came in from West Virgini and has had the dubious pleasure of sorting trhu 60 years of aaccumulation of an admitted pack-rat. I've kinda' mentored the whole family on upgrading their wine appreciation anf Jay always likes to spend an afternoon talking and drinking. He too is a professor and at present is doing research on tannins in soil.Interesting stuff. But back to the wines...We had both the Briarcrest and the Marlstone. Naturally the Marlstone showed better because of the Merlot and Franc. Later on the BC came on. Both are solid wines and went extremely well with the grilled NY strip sirloins. WW
