  This wine was outstanding. Drank from magnum. Gosh the purity and mouthfeel shocked me. No tannins.

  Typical Dunn but with some interesting nuances. Excellent cassis and blackberry flavors bolstered by pencil shavings, cedar, tobacco and very, very distinctive leather component. I was going to call it baseball glove but my girlfriend corrected me. It was, and she is absolutely correct, new Louis Vuitton leather. Wow! A 30 minute decant was all that was needed for this wine to fully blossom. The nose leapt from the glass and was captivating. Silky smooth, the still-present tannins have softened and sweetened considerably. As with most Dunns, this one can go another decade or two, but it's singing right now.

  3 hour double decant
  not as perfect as the 2014 tasted a few weeks ago but a great Cabernet and excellent example and a joy to drink
  I have opened two others but feel it is just now in its prime.

  Most of the structure has resolved into a still slightly closed but rich Cabernet with lots of good notes.
  
  Could stand some further years for some further improvement.

  Deep ruby garnet color; nose of dark red fruit and licorice;smooth tannins, cocoa plum and graphite with long finish. Drinking very well now. The cork crumbled but the wine was solid and and had plenty of life in it.
