The 1997 Bouchet Tete de Cuvee's (a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Merlot) saturated black/purple color is followed by aromas of blackberries, Provencal olives, and vanillin. Sweet on the attack, with excellent ripeness, medium to full body, a rich, concentrated, plush palate, and a heady finish, this complex, stylish wine should drink well for 10-12 years.Tel.
