Good body and tannin, spicy and long. Pristine fruit. Delicious. dg
- 1997 Sylvain Cathiard Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Pristine fruit, with almost secondary flavours. Forest floor. Soft and smooth and refined, with a soft, spicy finish. Very long. Good body. Delicious, but it seems quite mature for its age. exc
- 1997 Pierre Damoy Chapelle-Chambertin - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru
Overwhelmed by sharp acidity and I was unable to get beyond that.
- 1997 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru
Muted nose. Surprisingly decadent fruit. Refinement without power. Soft and smooth, with a good, spicy finish. vg
- 1997 Domaine Barge Côte-Rôtie Cuvée du Plessy - France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie
This is much better than I remember. Sweet fruit, with intense acidity. Meat and blackberries. Good tannin and length. vg
- 1997 M. Chapoutier Ermitage l'Ermite - France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage
Intense, intense. Power and intensity. Beautifully balanced. Spicy, refined finish, so long. Mouth coating tannins, quite well resolved. Perfectly delicious, you just want to hold it in your mouth. This is very young. exc
- 1997 Domaine de Marcoux Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes - France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Northern Rhone-ish, perhaps from the acidity and bright fruit. Light, fine and intense. Tannic on the finish. It carries its 15% alcohol well, although I really wanted more fruit. dg
