  November 5, 2023 - Two hour decant and it was absolutely stunning. Velvet tannins but still has a backbone, perfectly integrated, beautiful nose, in it's prime. Will go like this for another five years. 50+5+13+18+8

  September 24, 2023 - Gave this bottle a shake decant and back under cork for an hour. At that point, the nose was nothing but coffee and the palate was significantly muted. After another hour (and having several other bottles open), this opened up slightly with some earthy and red fruit notes. Nowhere near my prior bottles, this was just okay and likely suffered from the competition. Even food couldn’t save this one. Off bottle, off day, just did not meet expectations.

  May 23, 2023 - The people at Dunn said this was drinking well now and they weren’t fooling. Dark cherry and cassis with fully integrated tannins, tasted mature but vibrant - seems like the right time to drink this.

  April 29, 2023 - Dark fruit on the nose, with cinnamon, and green pepper. Good acidity and soft tannins. Still fruity and fresh.

  January 28, 2023 - The 2016 declined, rightly so, infanticide, and G. send for this - and how it performed. There is a cool, iron core here, really intense wine - and so young. True, blue, cool fruit, real mountain wine. Showing extremely young, and while great now, hold; stand back, more to come.
