Caymus 1994

This bottle was covered up. We guessed it had to be an aged Italian, probably a Piedmont, uncle E's favorite. European, with flattish well-aged nose and taste, herbby, cedar and rosemary. To our great surprise, it was an early Caymus, 1994.
Uncle E swore that it was properly stored at 55F in his cellar, but he was disappointed by the wine's performance. We thought that it was an interesting wine, even though it had past its prime. We are familiar with this feeling...A 2.
