1997 Dalla Valle Cabernet Sauvignon

Community Tasting Note

Sunday, December 10, 2017 - Will withhold score. Lots of debate on if the bottle was flawed; general conclusion was not. Storage seemed perfect, cork certainly so. None-the-less, a very baked quality. Heavy roasted dark coffee beans, almost stewed blackberries. Did this see too much heat in its life, of is it a function of how some wine's from this hot vintage are evolving? Very good acidity and some tannic structure still in place. Despite what was said above, it was not a bad wine, in fact quite interesting. I have loved previous vintages of late (especially the 1994), but leaving my opinion open on this one, would love to have another.
