Bright, full red. Musky raspberry, currant, mocha and spices on the nose, complicated by suggestions of anise, tobacco and caraway seed. Perhaps a little more structured than the '79 but more angular as well, showing a bit less richness of fruit and less harmonious acidity. The finish features dusty tannins and uncompromising dryness. Randy Dunn prefers this to his '79 but I give the edge to the earlier vintage for its equilibrium and verve. (13% alcohol)

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.
