                                | Tasting Note: | 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.
