Rating: 99 Points (Wine Advocate)
"Close to perfection, the saturated blue/black-colored
1997 Maya exhibits complex aromatics of creme de cassis, smoke, spice box,
iron, and espresso. The wine has a viscous texture, huge, concentrated, ripe
fruit, remarkable body, and a seamless, multi-layered finish. The tannin,
acidity, and alcohol are all beautifully integrated. This is profound stuff!
Anticipated maturity: 2005-2030."
