WEINWISSER: "93 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 5 % Cabernet Franc, 2 % Petit Verdot. Dunkles Weinrot, satte Mitte, dezent aufhellender, rubinfarbener Rand. Junges Fruchtspiel mit wilder Cabernet-Expression, ein Hauch Eukalyptus und Marokko-Minze, Sauna-Aufguss, Zedern- und Fichtenholz, viel Druck, öffnet sich nur langsam. Auch im Gaumen scheint er erst am Beginn einer langen Genussreife zu sein, reich und noch adstringierend, gut stützende Muskeln, gewaltige Substanz anzeigend. Er muss in den nächsten Jahren sein eigenes Potenzial verdauen, um dann eine extrem lange Marschrichtung einzuschlagen. Wenn er das alles packt, dann ist er auf Jahrhundert- Weinniveau. Drei Stunden dekantieren."
ANTONIO GALLONI: "I have always adored Togni's 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate because it captures both the natural intensity of the year and the vibrancy that makes these wines so compelling. Powerful and explosive, with huge density, the 1997 hits the palate with waves of dark fruit intermingled with savory herb, charcoal, tobacco and grilled herb overtones. Even with all of its intensity, the 1997 has enough textural richness to drink for another 10-15 years, maybe more, as there is still quite a bit of structure and tannin. Hints of cedar, tobacco, crushed leaves and game add the closing shades of nuance."
THE WINEADVOCATE: "The 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon has to be one of the great buys left for profound Napa Cabernet. He’s done the aging for you, and of course the wine is still an adolescent in terms of aging potential. Brilliant notes of cedar, spice box, cassis, smoke, and licorice soar from the glass, as if this wine were pretending to be a first-growth Pauillac. Full-bodied, powerful, still with a boatload of tannin to resolve, and just a faint lightening of the dense purple color at the rim, this is a brilliant wine from a vintage that produced relatively quick-evolving wines, but no such thing is tolerated at Philip Togni. This is a great Cabernet Sauvignon with the exuberance, purity, and richness of fruit that Napa provides, but with a Bordeaux structure that Togni, with his Bordeaux upbringing, somehow builds into the wine. This wine will continue to drink well for at least another 30+ years."
