Good. Dense. Giving a bit of fruit. Still fairly tight. Think it needs some air. Overall - really smooth and good tannins. — 9 days ago

2nd wine of the night and it acted like it. Needed a lot of time to open up in decanter but never really hit its stride even after 4 hours. Was solid and good but not great. Seems like a lot of the great fruit, oak and vibrancy left the bottle. Maybe better to drink young. Lost the head to head to beringer pr — 22 days ago

This wine needed a solid 1-2 hours of airtime and then once it had breathed, it really opened up and was solid. — 6 days ago

Seemed like the right time to open this. The candy like flavor that I see people complain about had blown off this wine and it just had this incredible purple inky color and rim to it. Very enjoyable. Still had good fruit and sweetness without losing too much luster. Caymus used to age forever but I would drink these up by 10th bday. — 10 days ago

Lovely wine that really opened up and let the fruit come out with some air time and was a surprise pairing with Mexican food. First dinner in new apartment. A good wine to start things off with. — 16 days ago

This wine is super nuanced and it really took on different notes throughout the evening depending on airtime, temp, and pairing. My favorite was after it had a good deal of airtime and was closer to room temp. I went back and checked old notes. It paired favorably in past to ‘17 Lafon. This bottle did not quite get there. Maybe it’s me but experiencing a lot of white burg bottle variation — 7 days ago

This is really good after some airtime. Smooth tannins and a decent heft of fruit — 12 days ago

Steak Night!!! This wine rocked from the moment poured from the decanter. Didn’t need much airtime to be very expressive and provide great fruit and depth. Held up well and was better than Caymus SS ‘06. Not even close — 22 days ago
