'97 Zins - top picks

[MikeE]

OK, for those of us who didn't attend ZAP and other tastings, we're interesting in picks for this year's releases. IMO, '96 was generally an adequate year for Zins after the great '93s and '94s and very good '95s. I've heard some dissension about '97 (some heralding the vintage, others claiming overripeness). It would be interesting to hear thoughts on the '97s and maybe a "top 5 for buying" list (price can be a factor though not a criterion)... any thoughts?

Thanks in advance
