March 30, 2024 - Not my thing
March 3, 2024 - 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!

Intense, ripe, jammy black fruits and pronounced sweet spices, some might find it a bit too sweet but I like this style, grippy and mouth-drying tannins, pleasant yet mouth-watering acidity, this "Caymus Style" is definitely something crowd pleasing and well balanced, lacked tertiary notes but this should come with time. Drink or hold.
April 11, 2023 - Blackberry, plum, and alot of vanilla. I seem to currently prefer wines with more acidity than this wine has. Alas, my palate and this wine style have drifted apart from one another.

February 24, 2023 - Better a day after opening. Had been in my cellar 5 years. Earthy, with a little fruit after settling. Would add another to my collection,
February 14, 2023 - Terreux et rustique.
A ce prix, on s'attend à plus.
Pas pour moi.
