Score 89/100 · Drink 2002-2009, Pierre Rovani, Apr 2000
The 1997 Corton-Charlemagne offers dense aromas of anise, spices, and nuts. On the palate it offers poached pears, tangy berries, minerals, and hazelnuts. This is a deep, extremely well-balanced wine that is presently slightly compressed in the finish. With cellaring, it should flesh out. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2009. Importer: Seagram Chateau & Estate Wines Company, New York, NY; tel (212) 572-7725.
