Smoky and earthy and definite, savory flavors. Smoked meat, pecan smoke, she roasted forest floor, dark and untenable, crushed violets that even after a week being open are still intense in nose and flavor.  — 7 days ago

Maybe I drink it too soon, but he didn’t seem to have much structure or depth of flavor. Round, citrus, peach, pear, honey delicious apple, not much a way of structure, but a good flavor a good nose after it warmed up for being in the cold. Crisp almost biting on the tongue, but that’s about it. I don’t know everybody else seems to love this one, but I just didn’t have the experience where I’m raving about it.  — 2 months ago

Really lovely, very much enjoyed this, finished leather and kind of a dried smoked fruit going thing going on with cooking spices and savory bits that did not overpower the well structured fruit. Very much enjoy this one.  — 2 months ago

First opening tight, overly structured, and a little bit of a muddled mess. Give it two days and drank the rest and all of a sudden it was a delightful chewy, slightly pastry, red fruit, earthy, a bit of a savory tasty glass. It’s crazy it needed at least three days of air to really develop itself, but it was very Tight for the first half of the bottle and maybe it just needs time.  — 3 months ago

Intense. Crushed red fruit and violets and yippee plums. I thought the intensity might tone down a bit, but even after a few hours open still is a bit daunting to drink. Not bad, but it’s definitely an experience. I had it with some basic rotisserie chicken and I’m thinking something with more fat would’ve been more appropriate for a wine like this.  — 13 days ago

9.0

Seems like a great classic representation of a Chianti. Cherry, Dusty, various baking spices. Interesting enough when it first opened there is definitely a caramel or a burnt sugar going on there, but it faded within the first 5 to 10 minutes. After that it settled down to Fruit forward without any bad tannins or anything else, but still not flabby. Delicious and went very well with our pasta.  — 2 months ago

Definitely needs a hour or so to open up. Very fruit for drink very young, overwhelmingly, juicy, and almost not fun table great flavors, but after some time with some air, definitely develop the savory smooth tannins, nothing chewy but more so very smooth and dark with a little bit of savory meatiness, but more like a grilled portobello mushroom than actually meat. Good and tasty, very much enjoyed it, it just takes a while to come to life.  — 2 months ago

I tried one glass to a Corbin that came off as burnt a little bit of tar and like caramelization. I figured it may have been a fluke so I opened the bottle and had one glass and then I let it sit overnight and had another glass. Maybe I just got a bad bottle, but the wine tasted stewed, like it got overly hot somewhere along the process. Really comes out, crosses cooked, jam, with some unwelcome tomato flavors. I’m really thinking I got a bad bottle because it seems like this has a fault. However, if other people try this and taste the same thing maybe it was just this year, who knows.  — a month ago

8.7

Delicious and refreshing, waxy, white fruit, and honeysuckle and white nectarines, a little low on acidity, but otherwise a delicious and refreshing wine especially getting it at a discount!  — 2 months ago

Opened, and stayed the same pretty much the entire time. A solid well blended wine with chewy, tans, and fully mature and ripe flavors of what you would completely expect of a Bordeaux style blend. Savory and slightly earthy flavors, very good.  — 3 months ago
