For those who think the 1997 Napa Valley vintage of cabernet sauvignon is already mature, over the hill, breaking up etc, you need to try this wine. Deep red with shade of purple, closed nose until it had been open for two hours, then blackberries and cherries, plenty of tannin but it is in balance with the fruit, nice long finish, superior wine, 95 points. I think it will need three to five years to show at its best.
