15th Anniversary Gifts

	1997 Vintage Report Ref: 1997 was a successful vintage in Bordeaux with a warm February and the hottest spring for 50 years. There was rain in May but it was hot and sunny for the second half of August. The grapes were harvested early except for the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal that were picked later for more ripeness. A vintage for drinkable wines to be consumed in the short to medium term. 1997 was very successful for Red Burgundy and excellent for White Burgundy. It was a good vintage in the North and South of the Cote du Rhone. In Portugal, there was a small, though high quality crop which produced some very good vintage ports.

	Semifonte Di Semifonte IGT 1997 Matta Ref: 7951 Scoring 90/100 Parker points and from the outstanding 1997 vintage, "The 1997 Di Semifonte, a barrique-aged blend of 30% Sangiovese, 30% Merlot, and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 15 months in French oak, is outstanding. It possesses impressive intensity, fine opulence, and a fat, chewy, black currant and cherry-flavored mid-palate with admirable purity, a layered texture, and an explosive finish revealing copious quantities of glycerin, fruit, and extract. It is a beautifully made, flashy effort to enjoy over the next decade." Drink now - 2014. Superbo!

	Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 1997 2eme Cru St Julien Ref: 6771/B55 From the good 1997 vintage and scoring 87-89/100 Parker points, "The 1997 Ducru Beaucaillou is a potential sleeper of the vintage in the sense that it could merit an outstanding score, no small achievement for a second-growth in the 1997 vintage. The wine possesses Ducru's elegance allied with structure, power, and concentration. It should keep for 14-15 years. There is plenty of mineral-tinged black currant fruit intermixed with spicy new oak. Medium-bodied, elegant, ripe, and impeccably well-made, it will be fully mature between '01-2014."

	Cote Rotie La Mordoree Chapoutier 1997 Ref: 6848/D34 Scoring 92-4/100 Parker points and from the good 1997 vintage, "The 1997 Cote Rotie La Mordoree is an extremely expressive, open-knit, aromatic, and seductive example. Chapoutier believes it is the finest he has ever made. It is soft, accessible, and easy to understand. The saturated ruby/purple color is accompanied by tell-tale aromas of black raspberries, roasted herbs, smoke, and meat. The wine is medium to full-bodied and moderately tannic, with low acidity, superb concentration, and an intense black cherry, camphor-like, olive component. This wine should be drinkable upon release, and last for two decades." Drink now - 2030.

	Chateau D' Yquem 1997 Sauternes Ref: 7481 From the excellent 1997 vintage and scoring 96/100 Parker points "A sensational Yquem, 1997 may be this estate's finest effort since '90 (although I would not discount the '96 turning out to be nearly as good). The 1997's light gold color is accompanied a gorgeous perfume of caramel, honeysuckle, peach, apricot, and smoky wood. Full-bodied and unctuously-textured, with good underlying acidity as well as loads of sweetness and glycerin, it looks to be a great vintage for this renowned Sauternes estate." Drink now - 2055.
