Second bottle in as many months. No decant but did pour into glasses about 30 min before dinner. Drinking very well and I believe at or near peak. Very enjoyable wine and highly recommended.

Last bottle was about 3 years ago and at the time I rated it a 92. Opened another yesterday and gave it a 4 hr slow ox before serving. This wine was singing and is in a prime dinking window. Amazing bouquet and extra long finish. It will continue to evolve for some time but in my opinion no need to wait. Best vintage of Corison we have tasted so far. Definitely won’t wait 3 years for the next one. Enjoy!

First bottle of this vintage. Decanted 1.5hrs then back into bottle for serving. Drank over 2 days. My impression is that the wine is in an early drinking window but has a few more years to go before reaching peak. Day 2 was better than day 1. Will wait a year before revisiting.
