Far too young but after a week in South Korea we could use some red wine so went with it. Ripe, young juicy and just one dimensional at this stage. Well managed and restrained on the oak ( a bit of a surprise ) and not austere at all , just young and very fresh. Good but far too young to rate.

A big night with a vertical tasting of 6 Caymus Napa Cabs. 1993 - Brown at rim, light in body, nice berry flavor, not much going on and a very shirt finish. Still nice 1997 - Color was good, medium body, more fruit and softer than the 1993. 2003 - A little better than the 1997, full body, round, nice mouth feel, good fruit flavors. 2009 - very enjoyable - full body, fruit and a touch of vanilla at the end. The end lingered for a while. Delicious. 2015 - This was the best, complex, round, drinking perfectly, good finish that lingered for a while. Nice balance of fruit and vanilla bean. 2020 - Good, less complex than the 2015, sweet fruit and vanilla. This could be better in a year. Soft mouth feel, round, delicious.
Great night!
