Saturday, July 31, 2010 - Saturday Tasting Group (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (Northbrook, IL)): One of my favorite wines in this style I've ever tasted. I LOVE Cayuse. So unique and individually styled it's remarkable.
Super funky and really pugent intriguing aromas. Screaming of wet dog, damp earth, spice, pepper and lots of wood.
Really yummy new oak. Sawdust and remarkable aromas of anise. Meaty, menthol, clay. The different smells that are coming from the glass are so well expressed it took me almost three minutes before I had my first sip.
Though there was so much going on the wine wasn't over the top in style. It was masculine but the finish sported serious finesse. Completely balanced with nice acidity and firm tannins leading me to believe this wine will age gracefully for 15-20 years. Kudos to Christophe Baron.
