Dalla Valle Cabernet Sauvignon - 1996 (750ml)

Deep ruby. Slightly roasted, inky aromas of dark berries and licorice. Lush and very smooth in the middle palate, but currently a bit dominated by its underlying structure. Hiding more than it showing today. Tannins are substantial but quite velvety for the vintage. May/June 99
Vinous - 92+ points
