The 1997 Eclipse exhibits notes of camphor, kirsch liqueur, and black currant fruit intermixed with spice box, pepper, and earth. It is a full-bodied, beautifully textured, juicy, long wine that is close to full maturity, yet is capable of lasting another 5-10 years. This quartet of Noon wines all remain powerful, youthful, and impressive. Both vintages of the Eclipse (a blend of approximately 65% Grenache and 35% Syrah) are spectacular.
