[net.wines] Dunn Napa Valley Cabernet

I have a single bottle of this wine and have been wondering if 
it can be drunk yet.  Has anyone tried this specific wine?  I realize
that the Dunn Howell Mountain 82 and 83 need a few years, but the
82 Napa is already drinking nicely.

The 83 Dunn is regrettably delicious now -- as in fruity, balanced,
long and deep.  "Regrettably" because it'll be WONDERFUL in another
3 or 4 years.  I decided to bury the half-case I bought under ten other
cases of wine to keep myself from pillaging it now!
