1988 Caymus, Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml), [nicked label]

"Pure Caymus, only on a slightly muted scale. The currant, plum, dried cherry, anise and spicy flavors are neatly layered, and the texture and tannins are smooth and polished. Shows fine balance and depth of flavor." JL for WS Nov 1998

Robert Parker writes, "Few wineries in the world can boast such an enviable record of consistent excellence as that of Caymus. There is no doubting that Cabernet Sauvignon is King at Caymus. For nearly twenty years this winery has excelled at producing boldly-flavored, ripe, concentrated regular bottlings and lavishly-oaked, big, spicy, luxury-priced Special Selection offerings."
