Lot #54. Fobiano La Carraia 1997

Description: Consists of 6 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 92 RP.
"From an estate owned by Riccardo Cotarella, this wine, a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in 100% new French oak, and bottled without fining or filtration, reflects the great ripeness and richness achieved in 1997. The wine's black/purple color is followed by a stunning nose of licorice, smoke, black fruits, and minerals. Amazingly rich, with no hard edges, this sumptuous, silky-textured, full-bodied offering coats the mouth, but is neither heavy nor out of balance. Its 40+ second finish is dazzling." Wine Advocate #124, Aug 1999
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $160
