Evolution and Myth. The 1997 is now a wine of extraordinary complexity. The nose offers evolved notes of cigar box, old leather, black truffle, and plum in spirits, with a background of eucalyptus. On the palate, it is pure velvet, with completely integrated tannins and a persistence that recalls the nobility of great vintage Bordeaux.
