6/12/2016 - Grenik Likes this wine: 92 pointsThird bottle in the past 12 months and it is very enjoyable. Red fruit, depth, cedar, a little smoke, and a smooth lingering finish. Solid wine. I think it probably will keep longer than 2017, but probably will not improve. I put it to 2020.

2011 Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountainmore |
2/14/2015 - stickmanparty Likes this wine: 94 pointsRepresentative of the newer style of Dunn Howell mountain, more approachable upon release but still very capable of aging well for many years. Really very nice upon opening with the telltale candle wax bouquet. Very well focused fruit with caramel overtones, balanced tannins with an impressively long finish. Improved with an hour and a half of decanting as is the case with most Dunn wines.

2005 Château GuiraudSauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
12/3/2014 - Grenik Likes this wine: 95 pointsFrom a half bottle. Still young and somewhat disjointed, but a lot of things going right. The nose was sweet, but quite floral and lacked depth. The palate however was very full with a lot of depth and ever-changing as the night progressed. Honey, sweet pear, orange peel, apricot. Firm acidity. Great!

1969 Jean Bourdy Château-ChalonSavagnin more |
11/9/2012 - David Paris (dbp) wrote: 93 pointsJean-François Bourdy's Decades tasting: One wine from every decade of the 20th century, back to 1904 (E&R, Portland, OR): This offers much richer aromas than the 1990. Fantastic depth; rich and decedent. This smells like caramelized butter and brown sugar. Delicious. Incredible palate presence, which is very rich, deep, and thick in texture. It's tart and rich, but so gracefully plays a balance between that lightness and rich cream mixed with white fruits (like white peaches) cooked in butter and a lemon tartness on top (but not the lemon flavor). Wow, the finish attacks with rich acids and tartness. Really impressive presence, with incredible intensity. Killer stuff here. 93+, and yes, the + means it will only improve from here.

1982 Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountainmore |
12/24/2012 - wconnolly Likes this wine: 90 pointsDeep indigo color. Notes of dark fruit and smoke on the nose. Although this may have been a bit past prime there is still plenty of the astringency and bramble-like flavor that is typical of Howell Mountain fruit. Drank this side by side with an '84 Dunn Napa and an '89 Dunn Howell Mountain, all representing the children's birth years, at a gala Christmas Eve dinner at Ditka's in Chicago. The '82 was a bit thin compared to the '84 and '89 but still delicious and drinkable.

10/18/2016 4:58:00 PM - I have the 2004 and 2005 vintages of this wine. I feel the 2004 is superior and I finished off the 05's awhile ago. I do not think this wine is improving, but I feel in no rush to drink it. It is a (too?) sweet wine and it has never had a lot of acidity for balance, but I really like the apple, pear, and other fruit. My advice for what it is worth (not a lot) is to drink them over the next couple years.
