  Records not handy. Bought 6b for 12-15/b about 20 years ago from the former evineyard; this may be the last one. Gold; modest nose, still just a hint of fruit; bit of honey, hint of fruit, modest all around but drinkable, not unpleasant. Long gone but interesting. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This was notable+ 12-14 years ago when considering quality, age, and price--just interesting now.

  Opened at a garden jeebus with Terry Theise and 25 friends. Probably the wine of the night. Warm, inviting, perhaps surprisingly drinkable; the amplitude of fruit was out of sight.
