Rubino--Vintage 1997
Umbria. La Palazzola
Tasting Note: The staggeringly rich, complex 1997 Rubino vino da tavola (a blend of 80 Cabernet Sauvignon and 20 Merlot, aged in 100 new oak, and bottled unfined and unfiltered) exhibits a dense ruby/purple colour in addition to a sumptuous nose of blackberries, raspberries, and cassis intertwined with toasty new oak, minerals, and liquorice. Full-bodied, ostentatious, and flashy, with loads of glycerin, and a 35+ second finish, it can be drunk now and over the next 15 years. Bravo! Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 124 (Aug 1999).
