And age wise? Is this already in the drinking window? Have a few of these myself.

Taittinger

Comtes de Champagne Grand Crus Brut Blanc de Blancs 1996

Happy Valentine’s Day! Continuing our tradition of pulling one of these each year - 11 down, only 1 more to go after this! Reminder that we need to choose a new case of something soon.

This is excellent as always but I’m not sure hits quite the same high note as last year’s bottle. Fine mousse, nose a bit more restrained. Palate is explosive and so deep with wonderful candied caramelized lemon peel. Wonderful pairing with carbonara!

Caymus Vineyards

Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Sold Caymus as a wholesaler in the late 90’s finishing up a grad degree at UofWisconsin-Madison. Invested in a case of the stellar 94 vintage. Still on its game. — 4 years ago

40th Anniversary Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

We really wanted to love this, but alas, we think that around 2012 was when Caymus decided to focus on an à la carte presentation, which makes for quite a shallow encounter.
They have tapped into the logic of the Skinner box operant conditioning. We humanoids press a lever (in this case pull a cork), and a one-night-stand promptly arrives in our glass. Us peeps tend to follow the crowd (I present myself as exhibit A), but when you taste this, it makes a splash, but flatters to deceive.

I had 6 bottles of the 40th and not one over the years impressed me. I only buy older vintages of Caymus at this point.

@Ron R I agree this vintage tastes like a milkshake to me.
