1997 Dalla Valle Maya Oakville 1x750ml

Vinous 88

Menthol, sweet tobacco, licorice, dried cherries and incense are some of the notes that inform the 1997 Maya. Soft, silky tannins support the finish in a decidedly forward wine that needs to be enjoyed sooner rather than later. [Antonio Galloni, 06/01/2014]

Close to perfection, the saturated blue/black-colored 1997 Maya exhibits complex aromatics of creme de cassis, smoke, spice box, iron, and espresso. The wine has a viscous texture, huge, concentrated, ripe fruit, remarkable body, and a seamless, multi-layered finish. The tannin, acidity, and alcohol are all beautifully integrated. This is profound stuff! Anticipated maturity: 2005-2030. Tel. (707)944-2676; fax (707) 944-8411 [23/12/2000]
