Though it might not be fair to compare with the Caymus normal cuvee, but the nose is head and shoulder above the Caymus, deep, expressive, highly complex nose with perfume creme de cassis, plum, cigar box, smoke, spices. As usual of a Dominus, super ripe profile but always maintained just before the top with good freshness. Intensely mid palate with layer of fig, blackcurrant, mineral with secondary nuances of smoky dried herb, spices and leather along with underlying acidity provide firm, polished backbone. The tannins is really fine and silky and the precise juicy long finish is excellent. Good depth and complexity, but there was heat present at the very end that distract a bit of the overall drinking pleasure. Still have some upside potential and should be able to continue evolve for another 5yrs. Buy - No.
