Into neck; very lightly scuffed label

Decanted 2 hours. One of my favorite Dunns. A powerhouse of a wine that also comes in a soft leather glove. Overripe black and red fruits in waves. Some black and red currant, touch of brett that is nice (not distracting) and underbrush. A little tobacco and hint of spice. A finish that lasts 30 seconds or more. This wine in 750 will still be going strong through to 2030 and perhaps its 40th. (7/1/2023)

What makes the 1992 California Cabernet Sauvignon vintage so incredible is that one of its hallmarks is the voluptuous, opulent, and succulent nature of the fruit. In Dunn's offerings, that translates into wines that are massive and rich, but with sweeter, more expansive, chewy mid-palates. (RP) (10/1995)

Bright, deep red with ruby tones! Knockout nose combines black raspberry, dark plum, tobacco, leather, minerals, mocha, leather and earth, all lifted a floral quality. Plush, dense and wonderfully alive, conveying noteworthy fruit sweetness; reminded me of a superb mature Saint-Julien wine, which is to say that it still boasts terrific grip. This exciting, impeccably balanced wine possesses a remarkable structure for continued evolution in bottle. The palate-staining berry, leather and mineral flavors blow by the serious but harmonious tannins. An incredible showing for this vintage: perfect today but built for a long life in bottle.
