Fantastic Bond and Caymus

2005 Bond, Vecina Napa Valley;
Dark ruby, Fantastic nose of blackcurrants, cassis, some sweeter dark fruit notes, hints of chocolate, a bit sexy actually, some spices and vanilla. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, very long finish. Some cofe in the aftertaste. Needs ten more years. 93


2005 Chateau Canon;
Ruby, very youthfull, some red and dark berries, blackcurrants, some spices. Clean and nice fruit, fresh acidity, mouth watering, ripe tannins, very elegant, long. 94


2004 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto;
Beautifull ruby, some coffee, cherries, cherry stones, fruity and delicate nose. Nice acidity, maybe not the sharpest for a Sangiovese, some tannins, elegant and long finish. But although very well made, I find it a bit boring. 88


2003 Caymus Special Selection;
Dark ruby, ruby rim. Very young still, blackcurrants, coffee, chocolate, mocca, incredibly complex nose, smells fantastic. Sweetish attack, strawberries, really intence blackcurrants, medium body and high fruit intensity, very clean fruit and a very long aftertaste. Great acidity, ripe tannins, long and very well balanced. Keep. 94
