Ripe strawberries and candied red fruit. Great balance, very easy to crush. A small step behind the LC17. Needs time.

Drink the LC15s if you have them!

A young LC18. Ripe strawberries and candied red fruit. Great balance, very easy to crush. A small step behind the LC17. Needs time.

Ripe apples, brioche, good precision. Changed a bit over a few hours, but nothing too compelling. Not a unique offering and definitely not worth the price.

I didn't hate this as much as others did, but it definitely didn't perform to its price point, either. Pretty waxy with just moderate energy. Started of funky, almost reminding me of a corked wine, and then it just gives honeyed fruits. Clipped finish. Part of me thinks it was flawed, but it also wasn't quite flawed enough...

Rhone whites, bb.

Wow, this is a spectacular wine. Love the richness and opulence, so much fruit density and sensual spices. Beautiful aromas, long finish. I could drink this all day.

Beautiful wine. Think it was decanted, so I didn't get any of the expected heavy reduction. Rich fruit, spices, and dark florals. Wayyyy better than what's expected at this designation. Really happy drinking this.

Always a pleasure to drink Vogue, but as usual, it started off a bit mousey. Nice perfumed aromas afterwards, but never quite picks up the weight or material needed to live up to its perceived reputation.

Much darker in color than the prior releases, looking like a bourbon. Loved it though. More umph and balance than the 2018 (which was also phenomenal, btw).

Served blind. I guessed early 90s Cab. Bah. At least I didn't call maderized Burgundy like someone did... ha.

Drink up ASAP. This is much softer than what's expected from Caymus SS. Classic profile, but not likely to improve. Slightly past its peak already, but can still be enjoyable if you don't mind that.
