Score 89-91/100 · Drink 2005-2020, Robert Parker, Jan 2000
Readers will be excited about the 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon. There are 2,000 cases of this potentially outstanding effort. Aged in 60% French and 40% American oak, it is a typical Nils Venge Cabernet Sauvignon, exhibiting an opaque ruby/purple color in addition to almost overripe jammy scents of blackberries, cassis, and prominent wood. Low acidity, in addition to terrific fatness and purity make this a hedonistically-styled Cabernet Sauvignon that will improve for 5-10 years, and last for 15 or more. Tel.
