I am glad to hear that this is holding well, as I still have a bottle.
I also have the 1976, the 1974 Insignia and the 1978 Insignia. I have
not tasted these in a long time, but they were holding well in the
past.

I still have a bottle of the 1976, but not the 1974. In the past I did
not like this wine as well as the Phelps, especially the Insignia.
