Cved 10/22/20 with 1998 vintage. Deep yellow color but no sign of oxidation. ‘98 deeper yellow and hints of oxidation. Both drank well. Age has muted the wood and creaminess that must have been present in early years. Good with butter lemon chicken. 8.8 for the ’98. Better and more balanced than the Neyers NAPA which was sampled afterwards. Opened '97 12-6-20. Stood up well to mix of leftover dishes from chicken wings to chicken pot pie and golden beets.
