"While I had tasted the 1997 Grands Ăpenots before, this was the first time I had crossed paths with the â97 Rugiens. The nose is still quite youthfully reticent, but lovely in its warm vintage mix of red currants, orange zest, a touch of fresh fig, woodsmoke, venison, mustard seed and a lovely base of soil. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and quite soil-driven for a â97, with a lovely core of fruit, a bit of ripe tannin, good acids and really very nice delineation on the long and perfectly balanced finish. A lovely example of the vintage that only needs a few more years to really start to come into its own."
