Don Corson entered the oldest Cab in this year’s Platinum. As such, his decade-old selection of his best barrels from that classic vintage was the first to be evaluated. And it proved to be one of the best — earning a unanimous vote for Platinum and a lofty score from judges. There’s a rewarding sense of maturity and complexity with its profile of cherry gastrique and toast with tertiary savory notes of black olive and oyster mushrooms.
