1996 Dalla Valle Cabernet Sauvignon

Community Tasting Note

88 Points

Saturday, August 7, 2021 - Tasted alongside the '99, this did not show nearly as well as my last bottle, and seemed a bit tired. The fill and cork were pristine, and the bottle was opened to "slow-ox" for ~3h before drinking. Could be that was the wrong approach, but treated the same way, the '99 was singing. A bit thin, more about elegance than power, with cassis and berry notes, finishing a bit raisiny. As they say, "no such thing as great wines, only great bottles."
