Interesting notes, Bill. This wine was one of the last of the old style
Caymus regular bottling, back in the time when they didn't give them the
overoaking that the SS received (not that the SS couldn't handle it,
though). I doubt that many of the regular Cabs produced there after '94
have much of a chance of lasting 14 years as well as this one has *sigh*
OTOH, I'll never know because I stopped buying Caymus Cabs in the
mid-'90s.
