What a treat. From the company to the antics of the cork removal, all was fantastic. Not surprised with some immediate mustiness on the nose, giving way to a rich but smooth aged blue cheese, mushrooms, soy sauce, earth, and just a faint hint of dried red fruit. Over the next 20 minutes the glass development was out of control, changing with each and every whiff and sip. Earthy umami, oxidative, and and slightly stewed reds to begin quickly opened to nice dried strawberries on the palate and nose, and advancing to moderately subdued ripened strawberries and cranberries- after 61 years and still kickin with fruit! Amazing. Then after about 20 minutes of rapid metamorphosis, it gave in and decided to fade to a very pleasant sipper...awesome. — 10 years ago

This is just one of the best wines! No matter what I try I always come back here and get blown away at every sip. Very bold, very dry! Perfect! — 11 years ago

Another winner from Caymus! Fruit forward, huge but beautifully balanced. Nose is wonderful. Full body. Well structured. Great finish. Every bit as good as the 2012! — 11 years ago

86 HM - what else to say other than it's the wine that got me into wine; every time I taste it I remember why I got started in this business.. First tried at 16 years old at the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver with my Dad. Today, a couple decades later, got to enjoy it again from 5L surrounded by good friends and family. 10 is for all of it, not just the wine. Grateful to Jason and Sarah Heller for their generosity. #happyeaster — 10 years ago

This is still one of the best everyday wines you can ever get. It's truly wonderful and a bottle never lasts for more than 15 minutes. Every sip is a miracle. — 13 years ago

I'm generally drawn to things that are varying degrees of aspirational and innovative. This transcends both and is a true picture of authenticity. Power & finesse in perfect balance. Youthful tannins add textural detail, fruity, smoky & savory. Loved every drop. — 10 years ago
