The tasting note for 1997 Caymus Vineyards Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleyis from Robert Parker - Tasted at “The Sampler” icon tasting in London. The nose is still very closed but begins to open with aeration with burnt match, tertiary notes and black truffle. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins quite bretty with a meaty gamey finish that is vigorous and long.
