Noteringar:
2007-07-05 17:15 WS: Not quite as great as the 100-point '94, but really superb. Black color, with intense aromas of mineral, blueberries and blackberries. Full-bodied and very sweet, with layers of big, velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Truly impressive. Best after 2009. 250 cases made. –JS
2007-07-05 17:16 WA: The 1997 Nacional is a legend from this pre-phylloxera vineyard. The color is a saturated black/purple. The nose reveals floral scents intermixed with coffee, blackberries, tar, cassis, licorice, and chocolate. Extremely full-bodied, but less massive and seamless, this spectacular Nacional will reach its plateau of maturity quickly, where it will remain for 2-3 decades. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2040. Importer: William Grant & Sons, Edison, NJ; tel. (732) 225-9000
2007-07-05 17:16 IWC: By Stephen Tanzer Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/June 00 Even more saturated dark ruby. Even riper but much more reticent aromas of dark berries, maple syrup and black licorice. Superripe and voluptuous in the mouth, with impressively deep, lush fruit of uncanny purity. Complicating notes of graphite, flowers and minerals. Thick but bright. Finishes with big, ripe tannins, great persistence and a very late burst of black cherry flavor. As with the outstanding '94 bottling, this wine's extraordinarily pure, deep fruit is partly hiding its underlying structure. (William Grant & Sons, Edison, NJ) 97(+?) points
