Score 86/100 · Drink 2000-2008, Robert Parker, Apr 2000

An elegant, dark plum-colored effort, this 1997 reveals sweet cranberry, black cherry, licorice, and floral aromas. Medium-bodied, ripe, and round, with low acidity, it is a lovely, stylish, soft wine to consume over the next 7-8 years.

Nice velvety texture, but I am not impressed with the herbal, cut grass character. Light finish. Drink now. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 2000.
