This is a wonderful bottle of Cabernet. But not the best example of Corison Kronos. I do expect a lot from a Kronos. Color was dark, some muted fruit on the nose as I decanted. Some sediment, so filter. The wine was thin on the palate. The fruit is there, but light but it lingers to the finish. Nice acidity. We enjoyed this bottle. And would have enjoyed it more if I didn’t know the label. Glad I have plenty other vintages to enjoy.

The wine is in a nice place. Not the best Kronos ever but showing mature fruit, balanced tannins, but plenty of acidity. What you would expect in a well-aged cab.

Sad to say that I’m disappointed in this vintage of Kronos. I’ll have to go back to my notes but I think there may have been prior bottles that sat with me similarly.
Color in the glass is still quite dark. Surprising given its age. Muted nose. Dark berries and a little cassis. Something mildly unpleasant though I’m not sure what. It was enough for me to double check my glassware. Not corked.
Mouthfeel is thin but does ultimately coat the tongue. Balanced. As I aerate in my mouth, I do get sparks of beautiful fruit. A touch of raspberry. A little bit of tannin left.
I love Cathy’s restrained style but this is a little too much no “there” there on this one. Certainly disappointing for the price. Drink up.

(Corison Cabernet Sauvignon Kronos Vineyard) Opaque red violet color; deep, elegant, tart plum, black fruit nose; tasty, tart black fruit palate; medium-plus finish
(Corison Cabernet Sauvignon Kronos Vineyard) Deeply intense, the wine begins richly, but finishes with a clean sweep of acidity and a tannic tickle. The fruit, more black than red, is peppered with a grocery list of baking spices. Seductive, serious, complex, yet never heavy (this is Corison, remember), it’s one for the ages. Terroir: Kronos Vineyard

Balanced blueberry-cherry fruit; light and velvety; fully integrated tannin; smooth semi-sweet finish.
