Our final bottle. Decanted 30min. This is still very youthful in both appearance and character. No formal notes but wife and I were more than satisfied.

I don’t know exactly how well this bottle was treated over the last 19 years since I bought online, but it felt a little over the hill for me. This is my 4th or 5th bottle of ‘03 Corison in the last couple years and I thought the previous ones were all great. Bottom line I feel this is too basic of a wine to push 20+ yrs. 10-15 yrs in its prime, but doesn’t get better after that

This was fantastic. Had this next to a 2018 Opus One and the two couldn't be more different (even accounting for age). In a lovely place, as expected, and this went brilliantly with dry aged rib roast.

Great out of the bottle. Decanted, then consumed over 2-3 hours. Last glass was a bit on the pruney side, suspect over exposure to air with a relatively fragile bottle. Would recommend pop and pour or decant with caution.

Still has vibrant acidity and nice dark fruit. Maybe not the most remarkable bottle I’ve ever had, but still going strong at 20. Impressive.
