Score 87/100 · Drink 2000-2006, Robert Parker, Apr 2000

A sexy, open-knit wine, this 1997 reveals toffee/caramel notes intermixed with herb-infused cherry fruit, vanilla, and toasty oak. Medium-bodied, moderately intense, sweet, harmonious, jammy, and velvety-textured, this delicious offering can be consumed over the next 5-6 years.

Score 85-87/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Bright red-ruby. Cherry, raspberry and smoke aromas, with vegetal and damp earth nuances; a bit less Burgundian than usual for this wine. Fat and velvety in the mouth, with low acidity; could be livelier. The earthy note repeats on the finish, which features easy tannins and good length.
