1997 vintage. Deep ruby red color fading into a lighter ruby red rim. Fully bloomed red roses and violets, ripe red and black cherries, blackberries, currants, cinnamon, clove, charcuterie and light smoke on the nose. Rocky minerality. Palate confirms the nose. Integrated silky tannin. Complex wine, medium plus acid, medium tannin, medium plus finish. Still so fresh. A stunning bottle.
