Margaux - 1997 (750ml) Asti which is a 9 acreUndoubtedly a success for the vintage, this immensely charming, dark ruby purple colored wine exhibits floral, black currant, and smoky, toasty oak aromas. There is admirable richness, excellent ripeness, not a great deal of density, or superb concentration, but plenty of finesse, suppleness, and character. It can be drunk young, or cellared for 12 15 years. Robert Parker 90 points
