there's a sense that anything can happen

Dalla Valle Cabernet Sauvignon - 1996 (750ml) Size:750ml counoise and barbera are pressedDeep 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.
