Score 90-92/100 · Drink 2015, Robert Parker, Feb 1999

The 1997 Cornas reveals a dense black/ruby/purple color, as well as sweet, ripe fruit with an element of sur-maturite. The tell-tale cassis, licorice, mineral, animal, and meaty aromas are present, but the wine possesses a velvety texture, concentrated fruit, and a long, powerful, rich finish. It should drink well for 15 years. Importer: Frederick Wildman, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700
