The bouquet opens gradually, revealing layers of dark cherry, blueberry tart, boysenberry, tar, milk chocolate, and licorice. With a little air, the aromatics become more expressive and inviting, showing both ripe fruit and savory depth.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied and intensely flavored, led by dark cherry, blueberry, raspberry liqueur, boysenberry, and delicate shavings of milk chocolate, all carried by a seamless, generous texture. The finish is long and almost endless, with enough structure to suggest excellent aging potential. It is already impressive now, but time in bottle will only add complexity and polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCaymus Special Selection is made only in vintages when fruit from the estate’s best vineyard blocks reaches an exceptionally high standard, ensuring maximum concentration and balance.
