Have been saving this wine for the right time and when the time came, nothing. Very disappointed in this wine. To start, the cork had started to seep through even though the wine had been kept properly. The overall taste was from what I'd expect from a $30 bottle, not that of a Caymus. If you have it, drink it. Dont hold it any longer, it's not going to get any better which isn't much as it is now.

I would rate it 94+. Strong notes of leather, smoke and cigar box. Have noticed how much it's similar to other high end French wines. Good wine, but not worth the price.

This is a hard wine to judge. Never had anything like this before so tried to score it the best I could. Overall, good wine. Smooth and easy to drink, short finish with a note of cherry. Very earthy nose with hint of tobbacco, drinking well. Having drank a lot of high end California wines, this is nothing like those, very different.
