  Pnp for my wifes Birthday. This is the usual cayuse combination of ripe fruit and delicious umami notes. Could list them all off but you know what you're getting into. The cork was perfect. Seemed very young and vibrant still. Ever so slight bitter note on the finish. I'm thinking another 10 years to go or more. These are such timeless wines. Bought two bottles each of 13 and 14 off of an acquaintance for the allocation list price a few years back. Sadly this was my last bottle of the 13s.

  I’ve had many issues with the 2013 vintage from Cayuse but after 10 years this one really lifted off ! Finally! Deep rich full bodied and balanced. Only decanted for an hour, chocolate cherry, big bomb juice.

  Very smooth blackberry fruit with meaty flavors, excellent structure, tannins integrated and soft, ample finish, less funk

  Kleur: Diep donkerrood. Aroma / bouquet: Vanaf de eerste vleug: boers, sap van rode biet en bijna 'sap van gefermenteerde rode biet', rozenolie. Smaak / Afdronk: In de mond: een zachte zuurgraad, opvallend 'lactisch', een retronasale indruk van karnemelk. Boterzachte tannines. Algemeen / potentieel: Mijn derde notitie van de derde fles die ik kocht. En de hoge scores van andere CT-gebruikers kan ik werkelijk niet verklaren. Heb ik flessen met fouten of is deze wijn gewoon niet mijn ding? Liefhebber van Syrah en Shiraz in verschillende verschijningsvormen.... 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 8 + Smaak / Afdronk: 11 + Algemeen / potentieel: 7 = 81/100

  As close to perfection as I could imagine for a Syrah. Funk, olives, charred sardines and burnt tire, charred earth. Love it
