Dunn, Howell Mountain, Cabernet Sauvignon 1989 (1.5L)
Base neck

From Magnum. 2 hour decant with less than a teaspoon of sediment. In this format, the wine still needed an additional 3 hours of air before it fully came around. Also massive, and my last 750ml of this wine showed better. Nonetheless, all the earmarkings of a great wine and one of the best from Napa for this vintage. Loads of very ripe black and red fruits, tannins still a bit thick but also rounded and pliable. Touches of brett that were perfectly enjoyable, with some eucalyptus, sweet Oak and cassis. (7/1/2023)
95 points Wine Advocate
The 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain reveals an opaque black color, huge tannin, terrific purity, and density, a broad, heavyweight mouthfeel, and gobs of ripe tannin. It is a massive Cabernet Sauvignon that requires a decade of cellaring — at the minimum. (RP) (12/1996)
93 points Vinous
The 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is an excellent choice for drinking over the next decade or so, as it appears to be more of a mid-weight vintage for Dunn. Open and expressive today, the 1993 is a wine of balance and proportion. Sweet tobacco, anise and spice notes inform the close. (AG)(2/2014)
