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! — a year ago
May have to buy another case. Hope the next vintage is this good — 4 years ago

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
Pale garnet. Grapefruit, red cherry, and unripe plums on the nose. Medium acidity with light body, and light tannins. Red jolly ranchers, with red cherry, pink grapefruit and a little herbaceous on the palate. There's also a hint of bitters at the end of a medium finish. Really nice, more character than the other red cuvée that comes in the litre format, but still highly drinkable. Best chilled — 4 years ago

Very aromatic, very fine tannins, light in color. Amazing as usual. — 19 days ago
