Estimate
Remarkably elegant and polished, with ripe, sweet, juicy plum and wild berry, turning elegant and sophisticated, with a long, detailed finish.
One of the most beautiful wines in the Stature series is the impressive 1997... it offers up creme de cassis aromas intermixed with new saddle leather, vanillin, spice box, and minerals.
Very ripe, slightly briary aromas of raspberry, cherry and smoky oak. Large-scaled and mouthfilling; very ripe but not at all heavy.
