  Dark cherry notes, still pretty tannic.
  
  Very good, but lacks the depth of better wines.
  
  Went well with paneer pizza.

  Could go another couple of years easily. Nice fruit, just a touch of tannin, but to overpowering. Very lovely.

  Day 1: Very good featuring cassis, tobacco, spice, dust and wood. This offers amazing value and each bottle has impressed. 92 points
  Day 2: Even better on day 2. Classic Bordeaux like wine. Tobacco, cassis, spices, dust, wood and earth. This is amazing. I hate over the top Napa Cabs and this is not one of them. Confirmed 3 times tasting this wine. If only Caymus could make a wine this good! 93+ points
  Day 3: Excellent again with oak, cassis, spice, earth, dust, tobacco and gravel. Outstanding wine and far superior to the Napa Valley Cabernet from Mondavi. For $30 one of the better values of the year.
  Day 4: As good as it has been wanted to see if it could go 4 days. Yes it can! Has not lost a beat and as good as day 2/3. Tobacco, cassis, minerals, spice, gravel and dust. Medium plus finish and concentrated effort. 93+
  Recommendation: Buy!

  Great wine. Steady structure, dry and solid.

  I'm amazed to see some the prices (mid-$20's) others paid; I wasn't one of them. About $50 in 2018, a sentimental and spontaneous buy because 'Maestro' is also the name of my favorite cat who is doing poorly at the moment, hence we drank this--a prayer in wine, as it were. Not decanted. Initial flavors of jammy, roasted red fruit acquired heft and freshness over time with cassis, bay leaf and tobacco. The tannins became more apparent too and a wine that initially seemed on the edge of expiration ended up showing further cellar potential. Very good.
