- Catch 22 - 12-22-2000
The 97 Blackstone has been very well received on this board (deservedly so), but has anyone tried the 98 yet? I picked up a bottle of the 98 Napa the other day, but haven't had it yet. I was just curious as to how it stacks against the 97, both the California and Napa bottlings.

I've not had the '98 Napa, but the '98 California is every bit the equal of the '97. It seems a bit fuller and richer IMHO. Maybe Bucko will join in with his opinion, or perhaps CCK with hers.
