McGuigan Wineries, Australia, 1998, Black Label Chardonnay

[Newyorker]

While visiting Australia in August of 1998, purchased this wine. It was a first bottling. Would like to know if this wine has acquired any unusual value and if it is worth holding onto. Do you know what the current value is now?

I did a search on this wine on the wine board. I just bought a bottle this weekend at Red Kangaroo Wines in Paradise Valley. WOW!!! What an awsome Chardonnay. So smooth and buttery. Very dark amber in color. Drank with apricot and goat cheese stuffed chx breast coated in panko crumbs and sauteed. The wine steward at the wine shop was very helpful and recommended this wine for the cost.($8) Im so glad I tried it, as I don't buy too many Chards. Are planning a trip back over to the shop this weekend for a few more bottles. MS
