Score 92/100 · Drink 2003-2015, Robert Parker, Feb 2003

The opaque purple-colored 1997 Vendimia Seleccionada exhibits superb black and blueberry fruit, a long, full-bodied, sumptuous palate, and great purity, ripeness, and intensity. More evolved than its younger sibling, drink it over the next 10-12 years. Importer: a Christopher Cannan Selection, various American importers including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300 and Diamond Wine Merchants, Oakland, CA; tel. (510) 567-9897

Black-ruby color. Extravagant aromas of minerals, black fruits and soy sauce. Less dense than the '96 Vendimmia Seleccionada but impressively ripe and intensely flavored for '97. Finishes with firm tannins and superb persistence. Impressive.
