The saturated ruby/purple-colored 1997 Corton-Pougets has waxy aromas and a medium-to-full-bodied character. It displays outstanding ripeness, depth, and density in its black fruit, fresh herb, mocha, and cherry-flavored personality. Broad, expressive, and persistent, it is already delicious and will hold for 7+ years.
