Another 2001 cabernet - figured it would be a nice comparison with the 2001 Caymus from last night. The 2001 Delectus Sacrashe Vineyard cab is remarkably youthful for a 14-year-old wine. Was actually more intense initially than the Caymus, but fell off more rapidly in the glass. A good wine, but didn't quite have the depth of the Caymus. A bit one-dimensional by the end, whereas the Caymus still exhibited terrific layers of flavor. Interesting comparison...but this is still a good wine!
