Score 16/20 · Drink 2005-2010, Jancis Robinson MW, May 2003

Mature-looking at the rim, but very deep blackish crimson. Sweet, overripe, slightly overdone. Not appetising. A bit alcoholic. Wooded finish. Tarty. (JR)

(Release date 1/1/02) The spectacular 1997 Brunello di Montalcino, which has been bottled, but will not be released until January, is a thrilling, seamless example of Brunello that I hope is indicative of how special this vintage will be. A deep opaque ruby/purple color is atypical for Brunello, but the nose of dried herbs, spice box, fruitcake, red and black fruits, minerals, and earth is stunningly complex. It is full-bodied, with supple tannin, a velvety texture, and a tremendously long finish. It can be drunk now or cellared for 14-15+ years.
