It is easy to expect an erupting volcano in one’s mouth when you see the name Dal Forno. Yes, this was a powerful wine but thanks to sufficient acid and time in the decanter the weight and intensity of the fruit was held in check. A wonderful accompaniment to the Peking Duck..

This is great. Young! On open it was restrained. A lot of tannin even two hours in. But it’s starting to round a bit. Forward fruit. Dry mid palette. Smooth finish.

Wow. Had this last night at il tegamino in Carmel. What a wine. Drinks like amarone. It's big, juicy, and chewy with Tons of dark bramble, blackberry, and espresso notes. 09 is one to hold for many years to come

Bitter chocolate, dark cherries, lots of vanilla and oak, rather disjointed though individual elements were ok. Too rich and heavy
