May 12, 2017 - Mistake to open now. I remember enjoying the 1988 and 1991 very much 10+ years ago so I thought it was time to try a 1996. Showing a lot of American oak and some dense fruit. My understanding was always that CVNE had gone more modern only as of the 2001 vintage but maybe they bought some new barrels that year? Anyway, don't touch for at least 5 if not 20 years.
