US cab “tasting” with fondue; Corison 16, Caymus 16, Dunn 15; all well balanced, smooth and approachable; Corison a “crowd pleaser” with chocolate; Caymus same level but more on the licorice side; Dunn the “weakest”, a bit dull in comparison

This was surprisingly smooth and ready to go right away, rather soft tannins, medium to dark ruby. Even more surprised at how it faded a bit on the second day. I'll open the Howell Mtn. soon.

decanted with the vspin for 4 minutes (equivalent to 3 hr decant) and this was ready to go! Soft tannins, dark red fruits, moderate alcohol, and incredibly smooth. So good and hard to believe a Dunn could drink this well so young. No reason to wait on this, IMO. Just give it a good decant and enjoy.

The wine is drinking great! Deep purple in the glass, velvety smooth, polished, nice fruit and leather coming through. Long finish. Enjoy now.
