Product Description
"As for the 1985 Special Selection, it is a monumental effort from this winery. The predominant characteristic of any wine that spends three years or more in small casks would normally be oak, but it is a tribute to the concentration of Caymus's Special Selection that, while the oak is there, it plays a supporting rather than overwhelming role. This dark ruby/purple-colored wine is closed and less flattering than other recent Special Selections. The intriguing bouquet of minerals, licorice, road tar, blackcurrants, and smoky oak is fabulously enticing. The wine seems to ooze with a jammy concentration of fruit, yet it is admirably supported by good acidity and plenty of tannin in the finish." RP for TWA Oct 1993
