Dunn Napa Valley 1991 - 1996

(USA)
3 Flaschen

EUR 160 - 270        -> Zuschlag bei EUR 230

1 Flasche, Dunn, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1996 0,75l
RP94: The cassis/blackberry liqueur-like fruit are present, as are mouthsearing levels of tannin and impressive extract. This blockbuster should be at its peak between 2010-2040. F: IN, E: gut

1 Flasche, Dunn, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1992 0,75l
RP94: What makes the 1992 California Cabernet Sauvignon vintage so incredible is that one of its hallmarks is the voluptuous, opulent, and succulent nature of the fruit. In Dunn's offerings, that translates into wines that are massive and rich, but with sweeter, more expansive, chewy mid-palates. -2024
F: IN, E: gut

1 Flasche, Dunn, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1991 0,75l
RP91: Consumers may be shocked by how tough, tannic, and backward the 1991 Napa Cabernet tastes. It possesses Dunn's wonderfully pure, rich, blackcurrant flavors, as well as length, intensity, and full body. Yet the tannin levels in this tight wine are formidable. F: IN, E: gut (3726082)

WS91: Smooth, ripe and complex, with a pretty array of spicy currant, black cherry, anise, sage and cedary oak flavors. Rich and concentrated. Most of the tannin has softened quite enjoyably. Kapsel etwas angegriffen.
F: IN, E: sehr gut

1 Flasche, Kenwood, Cabernet Sauvignon Artist Series 1986 0,75l
WS90, RP90: This wine from Kenwood is a monster Cabernet Sauvignon, exhibiting youthful colors, and huge quantities of fruit, extract, glycerin, and tannin. Its fragrant bouquet offers scents of underbrush, jammy fruit, cedar, pepper, and herbs. Absolutely colossal in the mouth, with huge amounts of fruit, glycerin, and extract. -2021

Cabernet Sauvignon Wedding Vineyard

(Kalifornien, USA)

TAN91, RP92: The 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon Wedding Vineyard is a massive, full-bodied, black/purple-colored wine with gobs of fruit, as well as high tannin. It offers up mineral, black cherry, spicy, and charcoal-like notes in the nose and flavors. Extremely dense and powerful, yet needing 4-5 years of cellaring, this wine may evolve for two decades or more. -2025.

Into the Dark

(Kalifornien, USA)
1 Flasche

EUR 190 - 280        -> Zuschlag bei EUR 190

RP96: The just released 2004 Into the Dark (a blend of 84% Grenache, 8% Mourvedre, 7% Syrah, and 1% Viognier, primarily from the Eleven Confessions Vineyard) is a knock-out effort. Its inky/blue/purple color is followed by a big, sweet nose of black currants, black cherries, chocolate, spice box, and some toasty oak in the background. Voluptuously-textured and full-bodied with abundant glycerin and fruit hiding the wine’s considerable underlying structure, this is a majestic Grenache. -2022.
