'97 Taurino Notarpanaro

[stevebody]

I collected the '93s of Notarpanaro as recently as a year and a half ago and it was one of the most satisfying wines I've ever tasted; rich, dark as death, and stuffed with character. Not only do you NOT have a bottle of vinegar, you have an absolutely dazzling wine that is ready as hell to drink. I drank the last of my 26 bottles in January, at a dinner party, and it was the clear hit of the evening, in a group of wines that included a Chateau Montelena '90 Cab, a Alvaro Palacios Priorat Les Terrasses, and an Archery Summit Pinot. My friends are still talking about it. If you know of any shop that has any for sale, PLEASE contact me at stevebody@go.com and let me know. I'd gladly pay over sticker price to get more. ENJOY!!
