This is drinking surprisingly well. The nose is perfumed with lightly tanned leather fragrances with dark cherry and dense sweet fruits in the mouth. Where in the hell did the olives go? Who cares, this is nice. The body is just a bit short compared to the younger versions of this wine but is nevertheless highly quaffable. I am glad we do not have to share! Last bottle.

Considerable earth, smoke, eucolyptus, and tar on the bouquet. Layered dark cherries, plums and subtle blueberry in the finish. Continuing to age and drink like an Old World syrah. Very nice wine.

Some cellar funk up front, typical Cayuse. Black cherry, coffee, nice dark cherry color. Nice long finish. This is a very good bottle of wine.
