Community Tasting Note

oldwines Likes this wine:

Monday, June 10, 2019 - Tasted at the winery. Aged like all the Corison Cabs in 50% new French oak and 50% one-year-old barrels. It is an opaque dark garnet with medium+ tannin and acidity. Nose is a little restrained due to its youth, I think. But, it is clearly tightly wound with violets, menthol, dark blue and black fruit and cedar. It seems slightly sweet fruited with round glycerine-like texture despite the mouth coating tannins. I also get some chocolate covered cherry, wet stones and boysenberry with a savory and spicy edge. Medium-full bodied. Long finish. The wine was better at the end of the tasting after 30 minutes or so in the glass. I think this will merit a higher score when it develops more in the bottle. Give it 10 years, at least, in a good cellar if you can. Also needs lots of air. 92++ Infanticide at this stage?
