Scarlet color and brackish edges. Nose is sweet fruit and smoked meats. This wine already has some bouquet: truffle mushrooms, vanilla style oak. The palate is creamy richness with nuances of leather and a cocoa-style fine grain tannin. The flavors and structure of this vintage are consistent with the Caymus style - spice, toast, cassis - fully rich, yet supple. -Chuck Wagner, Winemaker
