Caymus 1994

Vinmøte Roar 16.2.17



Cornas Les Vielles Vignes 2013, Alain Voge
Mørk, purpur, frisk og bløt. Elegant floral "margaux-touch" uten tanninene. Elegant med et visst naturvinpreg. Floral, dyp intens i nese og munn. Virker som en lett og elegant årgang som drikker helt fint nå. 88-91 poeng

Cabernet Sauvignon Caymus Vineyards 1994, Napa Valley
Ruby farge med modent treverk og mokka. Rik vin, tørrer litt mot sur-søt og bør vel drikkes. En ørliten sødmestreng holder den på den riktige siden og i god balanse. 94-95 poeng.






Chateauneuf-du Pape Les Cailloux 2005, Brunel
Mørk og intens. 70% Grenache. Pen og moderat aroma. Viser fram den solide årgangen. Litt lukket, men usikker på lagringspotensialet. 91 poeng

 Deep, bright red. Pungent, highly complex bouquet evokes cherry-cola, blood orange, fresh flowers and minerals; smells like a Burgundy, and an awfully good one at that. Supple red berry preserve flavors are enlivened by juicy minerality and pick up a wild, smoked meat quality on the finish. Very impressive cuvee classique.  (2/2008)

 This offers lots of juicy, well-structured notes of garrigue, black cherry, plum, tobacco and olive tapenade, with a smoke- and licorice-filled finish. Ample grip and minerality leaves a rock-solid impression. Best from 2010 through 2025.  (4/2008)

 One of my favorite producers, Domaine Les Cailloux’s 2005 Châteauneuf du Pape is a terrific effort that’s hard to resist today. Checking in as a blend of 70% Grenache, 17% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah and the rest Cinsault, aged mostly in tank, if gives up a ripe, sexy and medium to full-bodied style to go with classic red and black raspberry fruit, garrigue, pepper and spice. Drink this beauty over the coming 4-6 years, although there’s no need to delay gratification. (JD)  (2/2015)

 Concentrated ruby. Some autumn leaves on the nose. Sweet and rich yet lively too. Still quite youthful but the fruit is fast becoming more complex and the tannins are well on their way. A hint of strawberry jam but no excess heat. Though certainly not especially concentrated. Falls away a little on the finish.  (10/2014)
