THE top-rated Cain Five ever at the best price anywhere for magnums.
Suckling 97 (top Cain Five score ever):
Exotic aromas of dried fruit, flowers, bark, sandalwood and dried flowers. Pine cone, too. Full-bodied with wonderful, refined tannins with riper tannins that show softness and pretty length. Harmonious. Just a hint of chocolate. A beautiful 1970s vibe to this. 57% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot, 14% cabernet franc, 9% malbec and 5% petit verdot. Drinkable now, but even better in a few years.
Britain’s Decanter Magazine also recently rated it the best Cain Five ever in a big vertical tasting they did, saying:
A beautifully balanced wine from a beautifully balanced vintage. The nose is succulent and rich in blackberry fruit. It's concentrated, of course, but also svelte and elegant, with bold but ripe tannins. Although dense, it's very polished, with solidity but not heaviness. Very long.
