Cinnamon attack, fine grained tannin. Lucious oak is robust at first and lingers. Juniper berry, thyme, Asian pear appears after 90 mins. After 2 hours in the decanter bright cherry gives way to goji berry, mid palate while showing good weight. Oak tannin finding its place while oak flavor continues to linger at lower intensity. Not bad for such a soft vintage at 7 years! — 10 years ago

1996. Boom. Amazing. Full on. A wine. Way heavier than the Dom 1996. — 11 years ago

Incredible earthy nose with leather, cigar box and some barnyard. Full fruit and massive tannins that give way to endless length. A bit early for this but I really love it! — 12 years ago

I was disappointed with my last Caymus Special Selection vintage, but this beauty brought me back to a bottle that won Wine Spectator's #1 Wine of the Year ... Twice!! Incredible fruit and balance. This can be cellared and enjoyed for years to come. Cheers!! — 11 years ago

Atractive nose of spices, candied cherries, marzipan and leather. A mushroomy background makes it way up along with an intriguing minerality. The length is medium -, a real shame for such a promising nose! — 12 years ago
