Still a little tight and not yet rounded out. This genie need to stay in the bottle a few more years. — 9 years ago

The essence of ripe cherries and strawberries invade every nook and cranny of this wine. Extremely silky and smooth in the mouth which produces a finish that reminded me of the horizon when you are looking out from the deck of a boat, just does not quit. — 10 years ago

This was poured through a Zazzol aerator and just spilled out Cassis, black olive, cigar box and vanilla/brown sugar from the glass. Should she well for another 8-10 years. Delicious! — 11 years ago

Sort of a 'mic drop' kinda wine. Incredible life left in this. Tons of fruit, not stewed like you'd think, but very bright. Peppery nose. Really a treat. — 9 years ago

First night dark cherry and a bit too acidic. Second night balances out with layers of character... Spent more time smelling than sipping. So glad to get this piece of quintessential California in Hong Kong. 2012. — 10 years ago

Great story behind this vintage and fun wine to try. Madeira-like which helps balance out the va--but turning into a very interesting wine. — 11 years ago

Perhaps I'm a philistine but this is preferable to the CdM 13 years out. But I'll take the latter when I'm 64. — 12 years ago

Glorious. Worth bringing out the bad boy decanter for! This '96 Dunn is pure elegance. 19 years in, and it's singing right now. — 10 years ago

9.3

A very solid Rioja, meaty, dripping in fruit and spice. Nicely balanced at this point with room to get better. Not sure it deserves the 97 points doled out by decanter, however. Pleasant and the right price. — 11 years ago
