I recently had a bottle of the 1996 Drouhin Oregon PN and a bottle of the
"Laurene". The regular bottling was really showing it's age with a bit of
brick in the color and a bit of prune on the palate. The "Laurene" bottling
was still vibrant with fruit.

Thanks for the comments. You may have saved me a few dollars.

FWIW, I bought a case of each of these wines on release and have stored them at
55F in my temp controlled cellar. The "Laurene" was a bit more expensive than
the regular bottling but is profoundly different now. The regular bottling was
quite good a few years ago but is certainly on the down side now.
Bi!!
