89 Points

Sunday, January 6, 2008 - colour was deep red with red brick borders ...good indication of the 11 yrs being in a bottle. The nose was very soft and got better as the wine opened up. I was worried at first when I saw the cork but it turned out fine. The tannins were still very strong which indicates it could of kept longer but I did not want to chance it since 1997 does not have a great review in general. Strong Black fruits with dry earthy tannins. Very complex and typical of a good Tinto Fino grape. I was a little disappointed for I had bigger expectations of this wine. I'm hoping the 2003 vintages I have fair better.
