So delish! Beautiful and holding strong with notes of blackberry, black currant, clove, star anise, licorice, dried orange peel, black olive, potpourri, tobacco, leather, earth, cured meat, pencil shavings, graphite, spice box, forest floor. Complex and balanced with a long, elegant finish. — 11 days ago

Double decant and pour (lots of sediment). A splendid medium tawny red color. On the nose: stewed black plum, nutmeg, forest floor, worn leather, vanilla oak. Taste: soft, lively wine with dried candied cherries, currants, loamy soil, toasty oak, and a spiced mocha medium finish. YUM at 28 years! — 18 days ago

This Dunn Napa (quicker to evolve than the Howell Mountain) is drinking beautifully and is at peak, still shows a tad of that famous Dunn “structure”, long, lingering finish, terrific Napa Cabernet!! — 13 days ago

Plum and blueberry nose. A lot going on on the palate. Cola, coffee, minerals, dusty cedar. Medium to full body with no harsh tannins and very Long finish.
Winner.

15 years barely put a dent in her. Feels like it could age another 50 years with ease — 17 days ago

Was handed a glass of this and without even knowing anything was incredibly impressed. Thought it to be a French wine too, had no inkling it was Napa Cab. Beautiful purple colors that showcases a robust and complex bouquet of blackberries, dark cherry, tobacco, and chocolate. Has some spices too but they are pinned back by the fruit. Medium tannins with medium+ acids, super smooth and well balanced. Vanilla cola, cedar, black currants and more tobacco and chocolate give it a robust and lively blend. Great finish! — 12 days ago

This 26 year old Opus boasts savory herbs, mint, and licorice with intense aromas of blackberries, vanilla, and espresso. Decanted and drank almost immediately. A winner.

Blackberry and blueberry, softening tannins and plenty of dark red cherry, vanilla, and oak. Delightful with a Christmas ribeye and mashed potatoes. — 17 days ago
