Many years ahead. Drinking really well. Cayuse profile. Unmistakable Cayuse. They are doing some kind of magic up there. Distinctive. *2nd night open and had to re-score. Beautiful. Deserved a higher score. Perfect bottle drinking extremely well.

Nose - classic rocks in temp form - subdued barnyard, slightly reductive, sageland wildflower mix
Palate - more barnyard funk, umami, dark dried meats, smoked char, plum, dark cherry, silky tannins, long finish with a hint of dark spice on back end
Day 2, 3: actually calmed down quite a bit and the funk was replaced by some very interesting notes on palate without the off putting oddities. I am going to open day before next bottle and experiment.

Just the right amount of “funk”. Opens beautifully through the last drop.

Pulled cork 8am, drank after 6pm. Barnfunk gone. Very nice Tempranillo.
