  Tasted at the winery.
  
  Little bit darker with more serious fruit than the 19. Bit more coiled up in structure too. Comparatively dark and inky but still has the classic Corison elegance. Mineral-driven tannins with red and darker fruits.
  
  Should cellar for 15y no problem. 93

  Tasted at The Wine Society UK's tasting of USA wines, London.
  
  My first experience of this cab sau and it's good. But at this price, it needs to be! Dark crimson colour. An intense nose, with deep blueberries, cassis, herbal and plums. The palate is full and rich. Very long. If I had a misgiving, it's that this is indeed a very big wine and may not appeal to all tastes. I think it needs to be left for several years and it may then soften out and become better balanced.

  Tasted November 2021. Decanted for three hours. The young nose wafts cherry, blackberry, boysenberry, black currant, sweet leather, and black plum. Boarding on full bodied, the black tea tannins are broad and thick while the acid is formidable but integrated. The fruit flavors are dark and have a dehydrated quality to them, while the earthy notes include tobacco, baking spice, and black pepper. The depth is evident in the mouthfeel, suggesting a good five to seven years will usher in some unveiling of complexity. Give it ten to fifteen years to enjoy it at its best.

  As always, difficult to taste when young as Cathy Corison's wines have always marked tannins to work through. Medium bodied, with notes of cassis and oak. 91-92

  Served from a 375ml bottle. While still young and mostly primary, this has the stuffing to age gracefully for decades. Really well balanced.
