I happened to have the 1997 with my wife this afternoon :-) No notes, but a
dense bluish red wine with a silky mouthfeel, nice ripe berry fruit,
prominent tannins. No cedar wood, more like cocoa - a very nice, elegant
little wine. However, the last glass showed more of tannins and acidity,
less fruit, which leads me to believe that this vintage may be somewhat
shortlived. Not a candidate for prolonged storage, imho.
