Il Bosco 1997

100% Syrah only from estate vineyards and again made under Staderini’s supervision. This vintage also saw fermentation and maturation in barriques that had been used for three years. The ruby-red color has turned to brick and is lackluster with an incipient orange edge. The aroma is vague with dull notes of very ripe dark fruit, while the mouthfeel is even more tired and diluted. A bottle with not much to say, like many from 1997, confirming that 1997 was a year that was too hastily considered excellent.
