Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, July 1, 2015 - Don't know why, but I just don't drink Dunn that much…only own a single bottle of 87 HM…but after trying this 10 HM….I NEED more Dunn in the cellar!! Amazingly the first thing you notice in this wine….is how smooth and soft it is! I was expecting some tannic teeth enamel stripping beast….instead you get this pillow soft mouthful of silk! But this isn't a Mr. Softy…it has a deep kind of structure to it….after the silk, there is a firmness of graphite minerals, spicy cedar pencil finish. The fruit is dark with blackberries and cherries…currant…ripe, yet totally dry! Savory all the way….with wonderful tasty flavors of licorice, desert sage brush, chocolate covered blueberries, dusty cellar floor earth…….all in perfect balance. Amazing at such a young age….I'm blown away!

I have 4 bottles set aside for my 5 year old daughter's wedding. 1 for the bride/spouse, 1 for the future in laws, 1 for my wife and I, and 1 to open the week before to make sure it is drinking well. You are making me think I should grab a few more to try on her 10th birthday, 15th, etc. before she gets married (hopefully in her 30s!).
