Score 95/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous
The 1997 Cepparello is pure seduction. Today the wine isn’t as opulent as I expected, rather it has taken on a much more sensual, feminine expression that is quite beautiful. Layers of juicy red berries, roses and spices come to life as the 1997 turns explosive on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2037. Jun 2012, www.robertparker.com
