This wine is firing on all cylinders. Lovely dark fruit with a dusting of cocoa. And some interesting spices.I also smell a bit of bacon fat. Nice finish . Tannins are well integrated. Slight heat from the alcohol , but very tolerable

this is a classic Dunn. beautiful fruit with a perfumy floral component accompanied by a persistent finish. there is plently of jammy fruit, so I would hold on to this for at least a few more years. I'm so happy that I have one more bottle. Decanted for an hour. paired this with 05 Phelps Backus, which was no match for this great wine.
