Sunday, July 23, 2017 - So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodnight: A Night to Remember (Capitalle Grille, Mpls, MN): Light gold color. Drank 1 glass over 30 minutes plus. Citrus, apple, green apple skins, orange peel, mineral on the nose. The palate is elegant with a sleek chalky minerality, tart green apple, elegant, mid weight, apple skin, citrus peel and a great finish. A very promising young St. Vincent

I always wanted to try the '96 and it was hard to come by at reasonable price, but I think this one would live to the same standards. I carefully monitor my inventory of those so I can enjoy them for years to come
