Peter Michael Winery, Les Pavots--Vintage 1997
Sonoma
"The 1997 Les Pavots (79 Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 Merlot, and 9 Cabernet Franc) possesses a hefty 14.5 alcohol. Nevertheless, there is no sense of overweight or flabbiness to this brilliant, Bordeaux-styled blend. Moreover, there are 3,700 cases, which should guarantee decent availability. The 1997's saturated black/purple color is followed by a gorgeously perfumed nose of licorice, cassis, sweet foresty scents, and toasty new oak. On the palate, the wine offers licorice, black currant jam, and notes of a wood-fired oven. Dense, full-bodied, and huge, with fabulous purity, it performed amazingly well for having been bottled several months earlier. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2025." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #126 (Jan 2000)
