Time to post some pairings

Glad to see Bob's idea of trying wines in their youth to try to guess how long they'll go. We do the same, since our concept of the expected drinking window doesn't always match the pundits'. But have you noticed how many wines seem to have a pyramid-shaped maturity curve, instead of the expected mesa shape? Some suckers just seems to peak overnight, then head south for the border like the law was on their tail. Frustrating.
