Gracefully aged, tannins fully integrated a little bit of fruit still there but clearly in tertiary stage. Lovely wine enjoyed with grilled hens and smoked bratwursts.

Pleasantly surprised by the vibrancy and robustness of this in its eighteenth year, showing no signs of diminution whatsoever. This exceeded my expectations, both for that, and for its general flavor profile with its complexity and balance.
Having tasted previously the 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2003, this was the most enjoyable and best showing of the four other vintage releases I had tasted.
This was dark garnet colored, medium-full bodied, nicely balanced and complex with a structured core of black berry and black cherry fruits with notes of spice, anise and black tea with hints of pepper, graphite and oak with a pleasant lingering finish. https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2021/01/dunham-cellars-cabernet-sauvignon-viii.html
