Lot 438 Details
CAYMUS CABERNET SAUVIGNON SPECIAL SELECTION 1990

Napa Valley.
u. bn. stained label.

The 1990 Cabernet Sauvignon-Special Selection appears to be the best Caymus has produced since 1986 and 1985. Two thousand, six-bottle cases will be released in February, 1994. The wine offers a saturated, dark purple color, and a rich, spicy, oaky nose backed up by generous quantities of jammy blackcurrants. Ripe, highly extracted, and full-bodied, with copious amounts of sweet tannin and layers of fruit, this is a knock-out, flamboyantly-styled Cabernet. October 1993 WA 94

1 3 ltr.    per lot $1,100 - $1,300

Realised: $1,008
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
