This 1997 De Fesles Bonnezeaux is a 【world-class dessert wine, praised for its immense richness and complexity, even utilizing 100% new oak with admirable results in this vintage】. The 1997 vintage was aromatically muted at first but revealed an immensely rich, ripe, and densely packed palate with quince, apricots, and spices. Expect a beautiful amber/golden color, an unctuous, weighty texture, and a nose of honey and raisin, leading to flavors of dried apple, vanilla, peach, caramel, and white tea, all balanced by refreshing acidity. It's a wine that has grown in complexity over the years.
