Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 13, 2021 - Basically the same as my last note- magical, already beautifully expressive and evocative; deeeeply pitched (but fresh) black fruits, cedarwood cabin, mocha, new leather, lavender, meat grilling in the distance...etc. So powerful and rich, but also very lithe and "linear" with a beam of fresh, beautifully integrated acidity. There's a real "tension" to this, but it's not closed; just kinda vibrating with potential. Rating this one 1 point lower as something made the intense tannins far more noticeable this time around; obviously there's going to be a lot of tannic heft at this stage, but the last bottle from a few weeks ago felt just a touch better-integrated, while this one was more demanding of a cellar nap, or at least a fatty ribeye. That said, I didn't get as much time to analyze the wine or let it breathe this time- this was shared (very quickly) with friends, while the last bottle was a mostly solo contemplation.

Still truly memorable and worth the price, imo. This is only the second Dunn I've tried (and both were 2014)- really excited to find an older one soon.
