Vinous: 89 points
The 1997 Rujno (Merlot) is a delicate red with pretty notes of coffee beans, licorice, sweet herbs, leather and dried cherries. The wine fills out nicely in the glass but my sense is that the six years this wine spent in oak were excessive in this vintage as the wine has already begun to dry out. The 1997 Rujno was the first red Gravner aged in cask after having used smaller French oak barrels, and like many of his wines in these transition periods, it captures a fragile moment of this producer's evolution that can best be described as a work in progress.
