Château de Myrat 1997

Wonderful purity of fruit, with lemon, pineapple and honey character. Full-bodied, with a sleek, racy texture and a long, sweet fruit aftertaste. Best after 2000.

Bright green-gold. Rich, glucose-like nose. Very sweet and round at first but slightly hollow in the mid-palate. Good acidity but this wine needs a solid core. (JR)

Rather pale color. Open, ripe bouquet, slightly floral, with a mineral backdrop and chalky notes. On the palate, sweet-salty, somewhat pasty fruit, better than in previous years.
