Score 87/100 · Drink 2000-2007, Robert Parker, Apr 2000

Toasty oak and soil/earth-like overtones compete for the taster's attention in this tannic, medium-bodied effort. With herb-tinged black cherry fruit and a spicy personality, this 1997 can be drunk over the next 6-7 years.

Good solid red. Aromas of plums, berries and black olives. Medium-bodied, with firm tannins and a fruity finish. Not as good as in barrel, but very good for the vintage. Best after 2000.-James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2000
