Parker Review:
The medium to dark rubycolored 1997 La Romanee reveals a gorgeous, mouthwatering nose of smoked bacon, intermingled with talcum powder and red berry fruits. It has a creamy texture, great elegance, and a sublime character filled with welldelineated yet jammy red cherries, violets, and spices. This feminine, graceful, complete wine has aweinspiring grace, femininity, and length. It is immensely gratifying to encounter a La Romanee with such power, harmony, refinement, and profundity. Anticipated maturity 20002010.
