1996 Corison Napa

[winoweenie]

One of the numerous great lady winemakers, Cathy makes one of the premier bottles of juice,IMHO, on the planet. This 96 is no exception. A brilliamt clear ruby. The visuals aren't nearly as pretty as the nose....violets, carnations, bakers cocoa, and tons of red fruits come at you. Sleek entry with all of the above on the tongue, a nice middle palate and a great 4&1/2 lapper finish. No discernable tannins or heat in this 12.8% alc stunner. Should hold another 8-10 with-out a whimper. A real star in this spotty vintage. 93/90. 40 by the box. WW
