Lot #251. Dunn Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2002

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 93 ST.
"Bright, saturated ruby-red. Vibrant nose offers cassis, minerals, gunpowder and spices. Densely packed but nicely delineated, with primary, fruit-driven flavors of blackcurrant and spices. Very juicy and suave but still quite youthfully unevolved. Finishes with firm but smooth tannins. This calls for considerably more patience than the Napa Valley bottling, but even today there's a pleasing pliancy of texture. This held up extremely well in the recorked bottle." Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 2006
Notes: Chipped and hand written notation on capsule, nicked label.
