- WA 89 (8/1996): I would have expected a greater difference between the 1986 Jefferson Cuvee and the 1986 Cabernet Sauvignon Corley Reserve. There were perceptible variations - but on the same theme. The Corley Reserve exhibits an earthy, herbaceous, gingery, coffee-scented nose, a denser, more opaque color, sweet, full-bodied, grapy, jammy black fruit flavors, noticeable alcohol, and a soft, luscious texture. The wine is well-focused, with noticeable tannin in the finish. Big, rich, and potentially outstanding, this 1986 Cabernet has another 10-12 years of life remaining. The tasting read more...notes for this section are from two single blind tastings, one conducted in May, 1996, in California, and the other in June, 1996, in Baltimore. (hide)
