98 points Robert Parker: "Opaque purple-colored with a dense, chewy, full-bodied personality, it displays abundant cassis, mineral, and earth notes. This brilliantly made, super-concentrated, pure, blockbuster possesses sweet tannin as well as a terrific finish. Having added additional weight since last year, this sumptuous, multilayered, profoundly concentrated Cabernet contains 14% alcohol. It is a candidate for 25-30 years of longevity. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2030. (Dec 2000)"

98 points International Wine Report: "The 1997 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon from Chateau Montelena is absolutely stunning. Complex and layered, this is intense, with mouth-watering black currant, blackberry, tar, pain grille, and some subtle bell pepper that all works extreamly well and becomes harmonious in the glass. Finishes long and supple, a truly amazing wine in every aspect."
