"Jean Gautreau 1997 is a deep purple-red color, with a tendency to change to a gem-like red. The wine is opaque, with some tears, resembling blood plasma."The aroma is balanced and restrained, with the deep berry scents of blueberries and plums, cedar, and the feeling of spring oak standing in the forest. The wine is full-bodied, medium acidity, with strong tannins and a delicate grainy texture. It has the aroma of ripe plums and blueberries, a strong woody scent of oak bark, and becomes soft and sweet after aeration, with faint hints of pepper and eucalyptus leaves.Overall balanced and concentrated, with a medium-long finish and a hint of apple pie aroma.
