  • It has been over 7 years since I last tried a bottle. Took about an hour and a half for the funk to wear off leaving a palate of dark plums, tobacco, wood and earth. The earth dominates the finish.

  • Root Day - decanted off about 2 tablespoons of sediment. Still garnet in colour. The nose has both savoury and dried fruit elements. Tannins are fully resolved and there’s excellent acidity giving it life still. The palate showcased dried fruit, black fruit, spice, leather, tobacco and minerality. An amazing bottle with lots of life left in it. I wish Caymus made wines like this still.

  • Pulled this wine out of my cellar as I have been trying to drink up my older stuff. This bottle has been cellared at 55 degrees since I obtained it on release. Poured a glass with my Coravin. Color was still garnet, not an older wine look. Nice nose. Fruit very much present without tannin. Shocking-still drinking great. Glad I have 6 more!
    The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

  • My final bottle of this, and I didn't realize that I still had it until a few months ago. Opened, but not decanted, after standing it upright for a day. Really enjoyed it. The cork came out looking pristine, and the color was a very dark red. The nose was immediately there with big floral notes a lot of fruit left. The Tannins were barely there, as the wine was definitely soft after all these years. After an hour there were some notes of stewed fruit (as noted by a previous poster).
