Lot #516. Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon The Montelena Estate 1997

Description: Consists of 1 Double Magnum, 3L
Score: 98 RP.
"Opaque purple-colored with a dense, chewy, full-bodied personality, it displays abundant cassis, mineral, and earth notes. This brilliantly made, super-concentrated, pure, blockbuster possesses sweet tannin as well as a terrific finish. Having added additional weight since last year, this [is] sumptuous, multilayered, profoundly concentrated Cabernet . . ." Wine Advocate #132, Dec 2000
Notes: Inventory label on cracked wax capsule and very lightly scuffed label.
