Drinking in a perfect place right now. Nose still the low point of the wine. Flavor is great. Soft integrated tannins. Fruit starting to just begin to dry. I don’t feel this will go past 2025. Drink up.

Second bottle I’ve had in last 6 months and my notes from first bottle still apply. Still very high tannin levels that overpower the fruit. Tannin lasts at least a minute in my mouth anyway. Back end of this wine is still almost sour and comes across with very high alcohol. Maybe this comes around but for me one of the least desirable Quilceda I’ve had.

Had in La Jolla California. My brother-in-law passed away this week and he loved Dunn. I found a perfectly kept 81 Dunn Howell we opened at dinner. Wow. It was fabulous. Completely in tact. Such a magnificent bottle of wine to celebrate his life.
