Deep black color with brickish rim. Aromas is dried herbs and spices are layered with smoky tobacco and cigar box. Dried cherry and currant notes join in on the palate yet the overall profile is of cinnamon, anise and other dried spices which echo on the long finish. — 12 years ago
Rich without being cloying. Could use a touch more zing of acidity but the fruit and brioche are very nice. — 11 years ago

Absolutely stunning, the wine of the evening in a tough crowd. So many notes on nose, hung meat, sweat, earth, blue cheese, orange, cardamom pepper and ginger with some hoisin sauce...magnificent. Silken and exotic on palate as well, so smooth now fully mature, resonating finish of the above. Stupendous. 1982 vintage. — 12 years ago
I really dug this. Blue cheese with honey vibes. — 13 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
