Community Tasting Note

cab blends Likes this wine:

Saturday, January 24, 2015 - Birthday Party (River Bend Golf and Country Club): This is a powerbomb. The only way to say it. Dark chocolate and heavy blueberry and cassis on the nose. This was decanted for 6 hours and next bottle I will try at least 12 hours. Folks loved this and we went through 3 or 4 bottles.

By itself it is almost too overpowering, with strong food it clearly holds its own and is complimentary. I would love to see what this is like in 10 years. I hope I can not drink the entire case. Historically, I have been a Special Selection fan and not the standard Caymus. For me this year's Caymus is closer towards the Special Selection in fruitness. It just needs to mellow and integrate to remove its youthful brashness. It may then even see and increase in score of 2 or 3 points for me if it can do that?
