Community Tasting Notes (3) Median Score: 89 points

  • Harsh. Fudge and barn straw on the nose. Prune and cedar in the mouth. I'm a fan of most of their other wines, but this was literally undrinkable.

  • CORAVIN ACCESS #1.
    Let it breathe in the glass for about an hour.
    Slightly closed down maybe at this stage? Some purple and blue fruit on the nose - candied in style. Very little bit of spice - not super exciting.
    Palate is fine. A little bit one note again. Shorter finish. Will have to come back to this down the road. Nice acidity and juicy quality that's tasty.
    Just lacking character, depth and complexity I expect from K wines and a bottling at this price point.

  • Huge nose of ripe rich blue and black fruits, toasted oak, pine needle, lavender. Rich, broad and tannic on the palate. Very hot on first few sips. A little clumsy, lacking in balance. The tannin smoothes out after about an hour in the bottle and the heat settles down a bit too.

    I really don't get these wines. High alcohol, rich, and overpriced. This is overrated at $70/bottle.
