Friday, October 11, 2019 - 12.8% abv. Recent auction purchase.
Really lovely and elegant Napa Cab! Firmly in the tertiary phase of its life, with classic aged aromas and flavors. Medium weight with a strong spine of acidity that contributed to an overall "fresh" presentation. Silky and slightly fleshy mouthfeel, but with still a bit of firm tannin. This had good depth of flavor through the finish, though this is nothing like the density that you see in Napa Cab these days. Paired superbly with short rib, mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli. So easy to drink - this was gone in no time between my wife and me (mostly me) - I find it a chore to get through some of these more modern Cabs. I feel very fortunate to have been able to enjoy this Corison treasure for a mere $23 (after buyer's premium)!
