This is spectacular. That roughness that is characteristic of Rioja is prominent but exists alongside a beautifully dry, luscious dark cherry 🍒 and oak flavour. And even with all its complexity, it’s a nice sipper too. — 4 hours ago

The 2017 shows some nice bottle aging development compared to the 2021, trading some of the exuberant flash for greater nuance. Still plush and fruit-driven, but the oak influence has mellowed, allowing notes of dried herbs, graphite, and earth to come through. Just enough acidity to hold things together, while softened tannins lend a smooth finish.

On target and in the window. What I have drank of Pauillac this was lighter in its feet but the blackberry tobacco cigar wrapper with some nice tannins and acid. This could probably go longer but glad I opened it. — 2 months ago

Ahhh when Caymus was Caymus! Chocolate, leather, prune, lengthy tannins and a nice bit of acid still hanging on! — 8 days ago

Already some nice development and drinking well. Still ample tight tannins that are partially resolved. Wait a couple of years for the next bottle — 25 days ago
