Caymus, Special Selection, Cabernet Sauvignon--Vintage 1986
4 bottles per lot
Caymus, Special Selection, Cabernet Sauvignon--Vintage 1986 Napa Valley "In the blind tasting, I first thought this was a Spanish wine given the intense, pain grillee, toasty oak, and vanilla aromas. After ten minutes some of the oak dissipated, allowing the wine's flamboyant blackcurrant fruit to emerge. Full-bodied, exceptionally concentrated, with a seamless, velvety texture, and a marvelously long, opulent finish, this 1986 Cabernet tastes like a jar of jam on the palate, with great purity and staying power. Although it appears to be fully mature, it will last for another 10-15 years. This impressive, sweet, creamy, exotic, and flamboyant wine merits the praise it has received." Robert Parker Wine Advocate #106 (Aug 1996) 4 bottles per lot
