Note di degustazione
A deep, expressive wine, the 1980 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain comes across as though it could still use more time to soften! Sweet black cherries, plums, crème de cassis, smoke and sweet herbs meld together in a powerful, intense wine with enough freshness to drink well for another healthy 10-15 years, perhaps longer. The 1980 only suffers in comparison to some of the other bottles on the table. Nevertheless, this is a terrific showing.

One of the many surprises of the evening, the 1980 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is a real stunner. Dark cherry, plum, smoke, rosemary, tobacco and menthol inform a layered, absolutely impeccable wine graced with superb balance and class. Initially quite powerful and brooding, the 1980 finds more sensual shades of expression over several hours. Readers still holding the 1980 are in for a treat. Today, all the elements have come together in another utterly beautiful, vivid Cabernet Sauvignon from Randy Dunn.
