Description

A great bottle in great condition. A few marks around the foil.

97 points Wine Spectator
Tasted from magnum. Dark ruby. Fabulous aromas of currant, mineral and mint. Roses too. Love the Cabernet character here. Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins yet chewy and powerful. This is still a baby. I am speechless. Like I tasted it yesterday.--1997 Italian blind retrospective. Best after 2012. 600 cases made. (Web only - 2007)

95 points Antonio Galloni
The 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Collezione De Marchi tasted from magnum, is glorious. Dark cherry, blackberries, melted road tar and licorice are some of the many notes that wrap around the palate in a dark, brooding wine endowed with tons of structure. At the time, 1997 was considered a very warm vintage, and it was, but those conditions are pretty much the norm these days. From magnum, the 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon remains a baby. To be sure, the style is ripe and flashy, but it all works. What a wine! (12/2013)

Barolista (97pts tasted 11/2012)
Aaaaah, this is the real thing! A gorgeous, elegant yet powerful nose with notes of sweet red and black currants, licorice, dark chocolate, expensive leather and the same gorgeous note of sweet green bell pepper as in the Sassicaia. But this is even more elegant and poised. Just gorgeous!
The taste is like the proverbial "iron fist in a velvet glove". We are talking about sweet hedonistic fruit paired with a tight backbone of finegrained tannins and a finish that goes on for two minutes. What density! This has just reached its peak I think, but will probably keep on this level for 5-10 years. I would drink this nectar any day of the week. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.

94 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Dark, brilliant blackish ruby. Open, sustained Bordeaux-like aromas of ripe cassis fruit, sweet herbs and tar. Very rich and concentrated on the palate, with the fruit, licorice, vanilla, and herbal components in impeccable balance. A seamless wine, powerful but perfectly controlled. Superb winemaking. (7/2000)
