This is phenominal. Perfect balance between fruit and freshness. Light on its feet but with so much depth. Fantastic right now - at peak I would say. But will stay here for +5yrs so no rush. A bit of a cliche but this is 1cru Bordeaux in the style of Napa when it is at its best.

(Corison Cabernet Sauvignon Kronos Vineyard) Drinking this wine is like a sneak preview of where the ’96 and ’97 will be in 10 years. Abundant, cheerful aromas of flowers, spice box, fresh red apple, and cassis are followed by a soft, seductive mouthfeel, with velvety tannins and a fresh acidity that carries the finish out for minutes. Utterly balanced and complete, this wine is a joy to drink today. Terroir: Kronos Vineyard

Blueberry, raspberry and blackberry; smooth but with supportive tannin and earthy length.
