Note di degustazione
Ruby with a notably pale rim. Harsh, awkward nose with some slightly burnt notes and, at the same time, a hint of green. There is certainly no shortage of acidity and yet a certain lack of life on the palate. From this bottle the wine faded fast on the finish and dried out in the glass. (JR)

Le Pin's 1997 reveals an excessive amount of oak for the concentration of fruit. The wine possesses sweet currant and cherry fruit, abundant toasty oak, and a seductive style, but the oak is elevated. It will probably not last long enough for the wood to become fully integrated. Or, am I wrong about that? Anticipated maturity: now-2008.
Better than I remember. Shows a slightly pruny character, but has some good plummy fruit. Full and round, soft and velvety. Long. A bit one-dimensional. Ready.--Le Pin non-blind vertical. Drink now. James Suckling,Wine Spectator2008
