Dunn Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon - 1982 (750ml) Auxey-Duresses Elegant and complex and refined96 points, Vinous Things get back on track quickly with the 1982 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain. Utterly magnificent in the glass, the 1982 graces the palate with a host of distinctly ferrous notes, followed by the essence of red cherry, smoke and underbrush. The 1982 is explosive, structured and intense from the very first taste. It is another wine that is simply dazzling tonight. In a word: superb.
