Dark color with green pepper full fruit and saddle leather. Acid a bit dominating. Will give it a year or two. — 11 years ago
It had already turned color prematurely but the flavor profile was wonderful. Dulce de leche mixed with fig apricot jam. — 12 years ago
Tons of loud notes of rose petals, stone fruit, citrus pith. Also, that color. So much fun. — 10 years ago
Very dark color. Not too tannic but pours very dark colored with a citrusy nose. Slightly imbalanced but relatively easy to drink. — 11 years ago
Deep ruby in color. Bursts with sour cherry, cedar, savory tobacco and leather. Neither gamey nor oxidized. Tannin and fine and silly and finishes with lithe acidity. — 13 years ago

Wine of the night. This wine had EXCELLENT fruit, and showed NO VISIBLE SIGNS of decline. Great powerful blackberry. I was guessing 01 Stag's Leap or Rutherford. Turns out it was Caymus SS 01, but I was second guessing myself on the year because it was a very purple color into the decanter and showing well. The wine had great vanilla on the front, blackberry on the front, and a more youthful middle and finish with some herb. This wine has 10 years left in it no doubt. Whoever cut this one off at 2017 has no idea. This one literally showed no signs of decline whatsoever. Drink by date 2007 - 2030. — 9 years ago
