Vintage: 1997

Score: 93/100

Tasting Notes:“Dark ruby-red. Exotic but youthful aromas of musky blackberry, black raspberry, cured tobacco and orange peel. Rich, chewy, bright and deep, with explosive, sappy dark berry flavors framed and carried by ripe, harmonious acidity. Impeccably balanced 1997 Brunello, finishing with sweet tannins and very persistent, building fruit.”
