Very good! Decanted and enjoyed. Smooth and definitely aged. Could have opened a bit earlier.

I don't understand Caymus-haters. Sure, the setting didn't hurt, but with a half-hr decant the nose was rich cassis, vanilla. Showing a little age, the dark red fruit, tobacco and oaky-rich tannins were smooth as silk. Ready but could go for 5-10 years. Not sure I could've picked this out from an '05 Special Selection I tried a few months back.

2005 is a very good year!!! Delicious with velvety tannins. Not over Oakes like some more current vintages. Perfect with friends at Shakespeare.
