Zonchera isn't very
representative of Barolos in general, I'm fond of it mostly because it gives
a finished and well rounded impression.

NH State liquor stores put their supply of '96s on clearance for $28. I
drove around NH one day and collected a case and a half of them. I never
feel guilty about opening a bottle because I don't believe they could
benefit much from aging.


My guess is (just as a vintage generalization) that the '96 will last longer
than the '97. Enjoy!
