Note de dégustation

Ce vin est centré sur un noyau riche et voluptueux de petits fruits sauvages, de mûre, de prune et de cassis, dans une bouche gracieuse et élégante aux tanins souples et caressants. La générosité du fruit se propage dans la finale à la fois longue, puissante et raffinée, qui met en lumière la forte personnalité du cabernet sauvignon. À boire jusqu'en 2030. Production de 21?249 caisses. Un vin de collection. Classé au 44e rang des 100 meilleurs vins de 2016. Note - 95. (James Laube, winespectator.com, 15 oct. 2016)

Note de dégustation (anglais)

Concentrated aromas of cassis and plum lead to flavours of dark berry fruits, ripe currant and cocoa and a slightly toasty oak. A rich and full-bodied wine that shows well-structured, silky tannins and a long, velvety finish.

A deep, dark red, this Special Selection features a nearly assertive and alluring aroma of sweet humidor tobacco. The nose is the result of lovely French Oak and ripe, high-quality Cabernet, with the singular quality that awakens the senses and demands their attention. The initial impression on the palate is a fine and abundant textural feel - sweet and tacky at the tip of the tongue, then broadening and expanding again and again. This textural richness is layered by the plaque and tack of emulsified Cabernet skins plus a tremendously impressive wood component. This bottling is rich, profound on the palate, with immense fruit quality and the Caymus trademark suppleness.
