A lot of flair here, along with the lushness to stand a bit of age but perhaps not the acidity or tannin for extended, substantial cellaring. The bombastic, fruit-incense, lathered juiciness certainly has its place, though, and it sure as heck seems Caymus went all Dookerstyle for their anniversary. Spiced & charred plums, heavy dollops of cassis, velvety ripeness, and a hint of sweet tobacco. Palate is heady and smoky, but washed over with a subsequent wave of ripe black fruits, port-soaked black cherries, and lots of sweet dark cedar. The alcohol is somewhat well-cushioned in the voluptuousness of the wine, but is unmistakable. From a salesmanship perspective, this probably merits a 95 rating (considering the popularity of the style), but the underlying complexity and stuffing are just a bit lacking here for me. Still…likely to be a popular effort. 91 pts.
