The 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits an over-ripe, flamboyant nose of jammy black currants intermixed with licorice, spice, and floral scents. The wine is fat and opulently-textured with gobs of fruit. Its low acidity and big, chewy constitution suggest it can be drunk now as well as over the next 7-8 years. This wine is a crowd-pleasing, exotic offering that takes the level of richness and hedonism to sensational heights. This wine is worth trying if only because of its compelling purity, opulence, and explosive richness.Imported by The Australian Premium Wine Collection, John Larchet, USA Wine West LLC, San Rafael, CA; tel.
