1997 Dalla Valle Cabernet Sauvignon

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Monday, September 5, 2011 - Not decanted. Disappointed with the extent of bottle variation as reported in other notes, and I'm afraid I'm suffering from this as well, on the down side. Appears to be a bit thin upon initial pour , and while there was definately some nice fruit when I first popped the cork, the aroma's quickly resembled those of an aged bordeaux that might be slightly corked. A little alcohol and raisin as well. Some red fruit evident on the palate but this is overall a dead wine. Again, faint hint of wet newspaper lead me to believe that this is corked. Not rated as a result.
