1987 Dunn, Cabernet Sauvignon, Howell Mountain 1x750ml

Vinous 96

One of the most gracious and polished wines in this tasting, the 1987 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is laced with bright red berries, spices, licorice, tobacco and smoke. The flavors remain lively throughout, but the wine’s mid-weight structure suggests it is best enjoyed over the next 10-15 years. What a beautiful and unexpected surprise the 1987 has turned out to be. [Antonio Galloni, 02/01/2014]

Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024

Robert Parker 94

The massive 1987 Cabernet Sauvignon-Howell Mountain is super-rich, extremely tannic, and very long. It needs at least 7-8 years to soften and should last for up to 20. [Robert M. Parker, Jr., 26/10/1993]

Anticipated maturity: 1993-2013
