Double decanted. Light ruby color with a pronounced brick colored rim. Aromas of soy sauce balsamic vinegar, leather , forest floor and dried red cherry fruit. Flavors of mushrooms, tobacco, dried cherries and mint. Mineral note on the medium finish. Very little tannin but acidity is still plentiful. Slightly reductive, but well structured and balanced. Just kept evolving in the glass. Past its prime but quite interesting. Thanks for sharing, Kase! — 7 days ago

Just released a few months ago, and still so youthful after 20 yrs. Forest floor, mushrooms, cherry, and subtle cigar box flavors. Shows what a beautifully aged burgundy can be. — 6 years ago

Found several, had no idea bought multiple from Moore Brothers. Terrific library wine surviving here for over a year. Still got that freshness and lift and subtle complexity that made me want to just taste and not eat. That’s saying something. — 3 months ago

Cved 2/28/20 after MB tasting of Ampeau Merseault ‘97 fire comp. color is much darker amber. Nose a bit on the oxidized side but not overly so and balanced profile and long finish. Opened next day and went well with dinner. — 6 years ago

Just fantastic! Great balance and complexity! Robust dark fruit, mild barnyard and oak, so many layers! Age has done it well but it was many years to grow! — 7 years ago
