Wine Advocate#115(2/1998) Rating: 90points Drink: 2002-2020
Bottled in July, 1997, this wine includes an extremely high percentage of Merlot (about 43%). It is a gloriously opulent, low acid, fleshy Palmer that will be attractive early and keep well. Dark ruby/purple-colored, with smoky, toasty new oak intertwined with gobs of jammy cherry fruit, and floral and chocolate nuances, this medium to full-bodied, plump yet elegant wine is impressive. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (1/1/2007) Score: 94
Big and powerful, with loads of fruit and chewy tannins. Still just a baby. Full-bodied, with lots of structure and a long, long finish. Give it time.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2010. 14,500 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Closed up on nose. Quite rich, chocolatey, concentrated, tight, tannic. Good length. Needs 5 years. |
