"Two of the most impressive wines in these tastings, both of Dunn's 1986s tasted like 3-4-year old Cabernets . . . . The opaque purple-colored 1986 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain offers awesome richness, mindboggling intensity, huge tannin, a massive mouthfeel, and a closed yet formidably long, well-endowed finish . . . . Amazing!"
