Sunday, July 3, 2011 - it is insane the amount of rich ripe fruit that still exists in this. color isstil deep to the rim. the cork was slightrly low in the neck, and almost soaked through. was disappointed with many 1997, but this one is super fresh. kept a ton of silky body. i wish i had tried it in like 2001, to have something to compare it to. The nose is floral and drooplet berried. mouth is pure but slightly alcoholic. some cinnamon, leather. good finish. will see how things develop.
