Atypically closed and backward today given how forward and expressive most '97s are and it's especially surprising that this is aromatically reserved but the excellence of the underlying material is clear and the rich, round, intense, ripe flavors are underpinned by refined tannins and the length of the finish is sensational. In short, this is understated for the vintage but very promising.
Good deep red. Bright, less evolved aromas of black plum, currant and mint. Juicy, minty and fruit-driven; quite primary for the vintage. Lovely penetrating acids give the wine very good delineation and spine. Very long, pure finish features even, slow-mounting tannins and excellent vinosity and grip.
