Caymus Vineyards 1993 750 ml

Description

Wine Advocate #108 Dec 1996 Robert M. Parker, Jr. Rated 89 Cabernet is king at Caymus. During the decade of the nineties, there has been a succession of sumptuous, rich, concentrated, lavishly-wooded, cassis-flavored Caymus Cabernet Sauvignons. The 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon has closed down since bottling, but it is still a deep, dark ruby/purple-colored wine with a tight but promising nose of blackcurrants and sweet vanillin, toasty oak. This backward wine is full-bodied, dense, powerful, as well as tannic. It will benefit from 2-3 more years of cellaring, and keep for 12-15 years. Tel.

Supple, well-balanced and very nicely proportioned. No Special Selection was produced this year. Best soon.–1993 California Cabernet retrospective. Drink now . JL
