Opened with little notice. Not really able to properly evaluate. It seems a bit evolved but not quite falling apart either. Not decanted, nor should it be.

Low neck fill and cork broke on extraction. 13.8% alcohol, 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Cabernet Franc. Earthy bouquet and obvious browning in glass. Lovely soft fruit on palate. Very subtle and understated - claret like! Inside of bottle coated with sediment. Pair with rack of lamb. Drink soon.

Let breath for 2 hour, excellent! Subtle tannins, mellow fruit, just a great wine. Might drink my last bottle soon.

Still very good. First bottle of 1997 that was still very good!
