Boooom!!! Infanticide at its best. This wine met an early end. Delicious nonetheless. This wine needed another 10 years. Still youthful, mouthcoating, and primary. Love Dalla Valle

Nose was opulent and mouthfeel of a right bank as Cab Franc gave wine that silky velvety texture. Asian spices, always get tea leaves, and well integrated tannin/acid balance. This one should age at least 10-20 years.

Bright cherry violets & cocoa with blackberry liquor, dark red fruits, tobacco & firm tannins. A powerful wine indeed!

Lucky, lucky me. Usually not a big fan of 2009s, but this one I like.

Made to age but also very tempting now. About 40% cab franc and 60% cab sauv.

Gloriously broad and rich on the nose, with violets and a deep undertow of powerful soft edged ripe fruit and some dried herb. On the palate very rounded with plum and great texture. Very long, intense and seductive. Still young, and will probably unpack and improve over the next decade or so, but great fun now.

Going thru a transition would wait to open another one of this vintage for at lease 1year.
