Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 26, 2010 - I decanted 2 hours 15 minutes, but the wine did not begin to open significantly until 3 more hours in the glass. Drank it in a side-by-side with a 1994 Ch. Montelena Estate. Wish I had decanted the 1997 at least 5+ hours, as it began to show its elegance. At that point, the softer 1994 began to fall apart.

As far as taste, very similar to the 1994 but a little more muted and austere (Pronounced vanilla and cherries. Moderate tannins. Beautfully structured.)
