LOVELY. Definitely won the cork lottery, a tough thing in the 1980’s.

1999 Vintage. WOW!! I'm a Francophile, and bought this in my younger days after visiting Napa. 2nd bottle opened in a month. Same impression. I can't imagine Sauvignion Blanc tasting any better! Totally blown away. Worth the 15 yr wait!!! I guess the Reds will be next.....
