1997 Vosne Romanee Champs Perdrix

Ruby-blue color! Multidimensional aromas of raw crushed blackcurrant, black raspberry and pungent floral scents (violet, peony, wild rose). Lush and wild in the mouth; a densely tannic wine of great chocolatey sweetness and uncanny length. From very late picked fruit. An extraordinary village wine, from a higher-altitude vineyard above La Tache that benefitted from the heat and sun of '97.
