  • 2016 Corvus Vineyards Blend Bianco-Cavus-Vasilaki-Chardonnay 90 Points

    Turkey, Bozcaada

    Tadında Dünya: Corvus Bianco & Corpus Vertical: Tasted on 04/06/2026 as part of a vertical tasting with the Tadında Dünya team (Corvus Bianco & Corpus vertical). Color is yellow-golden. On the nose; more intense hazelnut and pistachio notes compared to the 2020, yellow fruits. The characteristic Bozcaada note present in the 2020 is absent; slightly more dried fruits. Light flint, minerality. Aromatic intensity medium-plus. On the palate; acidity is better balanced, alcohol is noticeable but not as dominant as in the 2020, more aromatic. Finish is medium-plus, complexity medium-plus. Can age further and may develop more. Aging has definitely added complexity.

  • 2010 Corvus Vineyards Blend Bianco-Cavus-Vasilaki-Chardonnay 92 Points

    Turkey, Bozcaada

    Tasted on 04/06/2026 as part of a vertical tasting with the Tadında Dünya team (Corvus Bianco & Corpus vertical).

    Color is lighter yellow, even with a slight green hue. On the nose; hazelnut and pistachio, linden, dried yellow fruits. Green coffee, flint. Barrel integration is beautiful. Aromatic intensity medium-plus.
    On the palate; the most balanced of the series. The most harmonious in terms of alcohol at 12%, not overshadowing the aromas. Fruity on the palate, also with high minerality. Finish is among the longest. Quite impressive. Despite being a 2013, still very vibrant, built for further aging, complex and multi-layered.

  • 2020 Corvus Vineyards Blend Bianco-Cavus-Vasilaki-Chardonnay 84 Points

    Turkey, Bozcaada

    Tadında Dünya: Corvus Bianco & Corpus Vertical: Tasted on 04/06/2026 as part of a vertical tasting with the Tadında Dünya team (Corvus Bianco & Corpus vertical). Color is golden yellow. On the nose; dried apricot, mimosa, lemon/lime, light hazelnut and pistachio, thyme. There are some different aromas on the nose deriving from the characteristic Bozcaada terroir. More towards ivy/hollyhock bitterness. Aromatic intensity medium-plus. On the palate; alcohol is somewhat dominant, acidity is medium, aromatic intensity on the palate is heavily suppressed by the alcohol. Finish is quite bitter. Although the nose shows character and promising potential, the palate is not very enjoyable.

  • 2018 Corvus Vineyards Corpus 92 Points

    Turkey, Bozcaada

    Tadında Dünya: Corvus Bianco & Corpus Vertical: Tasted on 04/06/2026 as part of a vertical tasting with the Tadında Dünya team (Corvus Bianco & Corpus vertical). Legs are quite turbid. On the nose; high fruitiness, New York cookie, sour cherry, black olive, cherry liqueur. Aromatic intensity medium-plus. On the palate; structure is quite beautiful, high aromatic intensity, high fruitiness, high tannins. Would benefit from a bit more softening with aging, finish approaching long. Additional palate notes: dried sour cherry, mahlep, bitter chocolate. A very well-crafted wine, will age for many years. High potential. One of the most successful in the series.

  • 2017 Corvus Vineyards Corpus 85 Points

    Turkey, Bozcaada

    Tadında Dünya: Corvus Bianco & Corpus Vertical: Tasted on 04/06/2026 as part of a vertical tasting with the Tadında Dünya team (Corvus Bianco & Corpus vertical). On the nose; aromatic intensity medium, lower than the 2018, stylistically similar. Light ivy, menthol. On the palate; alcohol is slightly more dominant in the 2017, possibly due to the lower aromatic intensity. Finish is medium. Tannins are a bit angular. There is a slight balance issue. May improve with aging, but in its current state it is not very enjoyable to drink.

  • 2015 Corvus Vineyards Corpus 91 Points

    Turkey, Bozcaada

    Tasted on 04/06/2026 as part of a vertical tasting with the Tadında Dünya team (Corvus Bianco & Corpus vertical).

    On the nose; cassis, light violet. The closest to a classic Bordeaux style with CS/CF aromas most dominant. Aromatic intensity medium-plus.
    On the palate; light brick notes, red fruits are more prominent on the palate, tobacco, menthol, finish approaching long. Seems to have reached its drinking window now; not sure how further aging will go. Has reached maturity. Quite elegant on the palate, long finish. A very fine wine.

  • 2011 Corvus Vineyards Corpus 93 Points

    Turkey, Bozcaada

    Tadında Dünya: Corvus Bianco & Corpus Vertical: Tasted on 04/06/2026 as part of a vertical tasting with the Tadında Dünya team (Corvus Bianco & Corpus vertical). On the nose; mahlep, cookie, cherry liqueur. Aromatic intensity medium-plus. On the palate; the most aromatically intense wine in the series, almost a fruit bomb. Alcohol is a touch high on the palate. Tannins are still very pronounced and could soften further. Finish is long. Additional palate notes of meaty and lightly spiced aromas. The style shifted compared to the 2015 due to the inclusion of Syrah in the blend. More fruity and fuller in body. The best in the series.

  • 2010 Corvus Vineyards Corpus 90 Points

    Turkey, Bozcaada

    Tasted on 04/06/2026 as part of a vertical tasting with the Tadında Dünya team (Corvus Bianco & Corpus vertical).

    On the nose; flint, light mahlep, red fruits prominent. Aromatic intensity medium on the nose.
    On the palate; better than the nose suggests, beautiful aromatic structure, but the finish is slightly shorter compared to the other wines. A fine wine, enjoyable to drink, but slightly weaker than the 2011 in terms of aromatic intensity and finish.

  • 2009 Corvus Vineyards Corpus 91 Points

    Turkey, Bozcaada

    Tasted on 04/06/2026 as part of a vertical tasting with the Tadında Dünya team (Corvus Bianco & Corpus vertical).

    On the nose; more meaty aromas, riper fruits, tomato leaf. Aromatic profile is quite different from the 2010 and 2011.
    On the palate; matured beautifully. Tannins are still very pronounced and covered the whole mouth, but not angular. The most tannic wine in the series. Has matured and reached a point. Much riper fruits, molasses-like aromas coming to the fore. Very enjoyable to drink, but the style is quite different. A slight decline compared to when we tasted it a year ago.

  • 2006 Corvus Vineyards Corpus 89 Points

    Turkey, Bozcaada

    Tadında Dünya: Corvus Bianco & Corpus Vertical: Tasted on 04/06/2026 as part of a vertical tasting with the Tadında Dünya team (Corvus Bianco & Corpus vertical). On the nose; a disturbing off-aroma dominates. A slight wine fault is present. On the palate; the same off-aroma is absent, the aroma profile here is quite different. Brick notes, light rust. Black olive. Light bitter pepper. The nose aroma is unfortunately disturbing. The palate profile is quite different. Overall, despite being a 2006, the wine is definitely not dead; in fact it has developed into a very different structure on the palate. Tannins are still very high. Without the disturbing nose aroma, I could have enjoyed this more. The palate is different but still a wine that some may prefer.
