| Parker Review: |
A concentrated, seductive, and age-worthy offering, this dark ruby/purple-colored 1997 possesses gorgeous symmetry, abundant quantities of seductive black raspberry and cherry fruit, full body, a fat, chewy mid-palate, and roasted blackberries, coffee, and toasty oak in the finish. A superb effort for the vintage, it can be drunk now (because of its low acidity and sweet tannin), or cellared for 15+ years. Bravo! |

Saturated deep ruby. Tangy, spicy aromas of blackberry, black raspberry, cinnamon, cedar and spearmint. Smooth and sweet on the palate, with black cherry and graphite nuances. Finishes extremely long, with lush, sweet tannins and notes of iron and vanilla. This is remarkably rich and layered for the vintage. 91-92 points |
