Pours a thick dark black with almost no head. Chocolate, vanilla, coffee, molasses, and bourbon all playing nicely with each other with no one flavor overpowering the others. A very nice barrel aged stout. — 10 years ago

Very good right from the first sip. Perfect blend with nothing that overwhelms the palate. Berries and vanilla. Great wine from a "bad year." — 10 years ago

Dark ruby. Big nose of raspberry and watermelon with allspice and bitter cherry, stable and herbal notes. Wow. Attacks with a lush, detailed palate, plenty of fruit and super detailed and a progressive finish. Bam! Xlnt./bad assed — 12 years ago

I'm going to come clean, I'm not a huge Caymus fan. It's by no means a bad wine - far from it - but I've always felt they blend their Cab with too much Zin. I could be wrong on that account, but I don't think I am. Still, a nice brooding nose of dark red and blue fruit, with a touch of candied fruit and wet earth. — 11 years ago

What is all this talk about bad years? Shone like a star, outplacing four other late-60s first growth Bordeaux. — 11 years ago

Great expression of the vintage. Firm tannins and structure with great fruit. For the price it's hard to beat. — 12 years ago

Contrary to other wines, D'yquem is in a class of it's own in terms of Sauternes. There is rarely, if ever, a bad year, although some years, like the 2001, stand out more than others. The disparity in quality from a GREAT d'yquem to a mediocre one & so on isn't as drastic as one might imagine. While the older vintages seem to age VERY well, it isn't as discernible from a recent vintage as other wines. Sauternes, in general are consistent, & none more than d'yquem. — 12 years ago

Magnum 2001 La Rioja Alta Grand Reserve Tempranillo Blend. Gj big group dinner while B&M Sh were visiting. Unfortunately, this wasn't a great bottle. Wasn't "bad," just wasn't what it should have been. No funky veg and earth notes we love. Just some fruit with a short, hot finish. Too bad :( — 10 years ago

I really enjoy this wine. Smooth, balanced, red fruit taste but not to over powering. And for the price it's hard to beat. — 10 years ago

Young but with signs of potential. Definitely decant this baby if your drinking it any time soon. Power developing but very condensed and restrained right now. It's Dunn so it can't be bad! — 11 years ago

You obviously know what you're getting into with this one - tannin, tannin, and more tannin. Amazing structure, nice acid, if you're in the mood for one of the Napa big boys this isn't a bad way to do it. — 11 years ago
