2005 Corison Cabernet Sauvignon
Community Tasting Note
NEwino Likes this wine:
93 Points
Sunday, April 14, 2013 - This is a beautiful bottle from Cathy Corison! The nose had a nice full aroma of dark cherry and plum that didn't overpower. The mouth was full of dark fruit but still silky and smooth. This is in a pretty good spot right now! I didn't decant but had the bottle open for 90 minutes prior to drinking. Drink now to 2016.

My drinking window on Cathy's wines use to be 20-22 years but I have had some older bottles that were certainly better around 10-11 years old. This lead me to an experiment...I opened a verticle for a group of experienced tasters to taste blind of Corison 1993-2007 in February 2013. The group all came up with 9-11 years of age on the bottle was drinking best. This was a costly experiment but I agreeded with the conclusions. That is why I used the drinking window I did but again I sure hope this 2005 last longer because it is a beauty!

Any data on which years were preferred at 9-11 years, and any ideas why (characteristics of those wines)?
