The kind of wine that makes you fall in love with wine all over again. A straightforward expression of place, varietal, and vintage. Fantastic.

Drinking great now with an hour or two of air. Got progressively better through the evening. Darker fruit profile with stout but fine tannins and solid acidity. Seriously good wine that's likely to get better over the next year or two.

Smoky nose sour cherry front with a rounded finish. Really enjoyable.

Wow 2010 very complex I'd like one of the few cases to save for years. I think this has great potential.

I'm fresh out of 86 Dunn, so grabbed this to pair with beef filet. Anniversary year, too, so there's that. Bright cherries with a bit of spice. Definitely shows the cooler vintage compared to the 09 I had sometime last year.
