Monday, August 7, 2023 - I do love this wine. It is holding steady from my first time tasting in 2020 - and continues to provide evidence that Cain needs 15 years - 10 minimum - to show like this. My favorite vintages have been 2006 and 2007, though I've tasted 2009 - 2017. They are just not as integrated as this.
Soft and supple, with a nose that I could smell for hours. Lots of raspberry and cherry on the nose, and on the palate - muted fruit is the best descriptor I've seen, and it fits. Not stewed fruit - it is still clean and fresh, but not in your face or extracted. A long finish, balanced tannins, taste of the vineyard, but fruit forward, though the fruit is wonderfully balanced and integrated into the complexity of the wine. This wine is on a plateau and should hold for a few years before getting into tertiary flavors.
