98 Dom

[brappy]

If I were to choose between the 2 for New Year's Eve, I'd choose the '98.

The '98 is a great bottle. It's more accessible than the '96 at present; more airomatic; seemingly better balance at present because of the acidity. I don't believe it will age the same way, but for now it's great. I haven't written a note on the '98 even though I've tasted 3 or 4 times now. The '96 I've tasted several times and only once the two together.

Either way, you'll be drinking some good juice; the '98 is just more fun right now.
