Description
Allen Meadows: As readers know, I am not a huge fan of the '97vintage as the reds often possess a slightly under ripe andgreenish character to the structure despite having a very ripe,indeed sometimes stewed, fruit nose. This however is a lovelyeffort in the context of the vintage with a very deep color thattelegraphs the ripe but not over ripe overtly spicy fruit aromasthat are just beginning to display secondary characteristics. Therich and very firmly structured, even robust big-bodied flavorspossess plenty of density and just enough acidity to keepeverything in balance. This will not seduce or charm you but it isa mouthful of wine that is built along the lines of power and punchrather than elegance and grace. In sum this is a masculine Musignythat will still require ample time in the cellar to reveal its fullpotential and while this was by no means the finest wine of thetasting, it is indisputably an excellent effort for the vintage.
