Silk Bush

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

#KWN Wine 7. Obvious Bordeaux from the bouquet. Full of life and energy. Full-bodied and unctuous, bursting with blackberry, mineral, barnyard, Haro's gym socks, mushroom and leather flavors. So smooth. Like drinking liquid silk. Damn close to perfection. After much reflection, not just the #WOTN but the best wine I have ever tasted. Moff you have earned the right to attend another #KWN. — 10 years ago

Alheit Vineyards

Cartology Bushvines Chenin Blanc Blend

Naturally made, bush vine, no grafting. Very interesting and unexpected expression of Chenin. Slightly more tropical, but still restrained, not as nutty and very savory. Not quite as acidic as French Chenin. Lovely wine. — 11 years ago

Really not much to say here except holy crap this is good. Leather, bit of game, dark almost stewed fruits, cranberry. The tannins are pure silk — 10 years ago

Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2000

Decanted the mag 1.5 hours before pouring. On the nose this wine exudes deep dark fruit with cedar box & vanilla. On the palate this wine is liquid silk and coats the mouth then the fruit and oak are integrated beautifully and lingers on the palate leaving you wanting more!! — 10 years ago

Pétrus

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend

OMG!! Such an amazing wine, opens up very very well! Opens up very luscious and full of bold fruit. Tons of plum, and raspberry, with great undertones of cherry, and vanilla. Nice dark current, dark tobacco leaves, with harsh tannins. Finished like silk. — 11 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

I don't understand Caymus-haters. Sure, the setting didn't hurt, but with a half-hr decant the nose was rich cassis, vanilla. Showing a little age, the dark red fruit, tobacco and oaky-rich tannins were smooth as silk. Ready but could go for 5-10 years. Not sure I could've picked this out from an '05 Special Selection I tried a few months back. — 10 years ago

There are many claiming they've started adding flavoring beginning with the 12 vintage. I'm going to drink a 12 with a friend this week to see if these speculations are founded. I had an 07 recently that was very good. Their 94 SS is still one of the more memorable bottled I've opened.

Let us know your thoughts. For me, the 11 was excellent, but following that, they are bending the curve the wrong way.

Well...I just tasted & posted the 12 Caymus. Apparently, had a lot to say about it. Take a look and share your thoughts.
