1997 William Hill Reserve

[winoweenie]

Best bottle from this producer since the memorable 78. More fruit-forward than the 96 from last nite and
at least a notch or 2 above all the elements found in the 96. Brilliant ruby color, loads of red and black fruit s, some currant and red plum in the nose accented by sweet spices. All comes on the palate. Strong center and a 4&1/2 lapper finish. Comes close to the remarkable 78 but falls a scoch short. Still a solid 91/92 with another 3-4 to shed the rest of the velvety tannins. 33 by the box. WW
