November 25, 2023 - Smells like concrete
Peppery taste
October 25, 2021 - Outstanding blend that is at it’s peak. Went great with a Grilled New York Steak. Don’t see this getting better but it should hold for a couple more years.
September 20, 2021 - Good blend with some secondary notes starting to come through. Light on the fruit with some tannins showing up on the second night. Should be drank in the near term.
June 22, 2021 - Decanted 1.5 hrs, resolved, nice depth.
June 8, 2021 - Not good. After having a very good experience with this wine recently, I opened my last bottle. This was unusual right from the start. When I pulled the cork there was a noticeable pop sound; sort of like Champagne. There was an "off" aroma and the initial taste was that of a wine that was slightly corked. My guess is that a secondary fermentation occurred in this bottle. I gave the bottle a couple of thorough decants to see if it would improve. It did improve slightly but was never that good. I saved the bottle and tried it again the next evening. it was worse and I poured it in the garden. Very sad.
May 22, 2021 - Nice pairing with beef ravioli. Drink now-2022.
May 16, 2021 - Decanted and drank over two evenings. This opened up nicely and was very enjoyable. I have sometimes felt a bit let down on my aged Corliss wines; all the effort and work just didn't seem to translate into a world class bottle. But this Bordeaux blend was nice. I think it is ready to consume.
March 13, 2021 - Decanted 1.5 hrs. Resolved, big, smooth.
January 20, 2021 - Elegant, round, and well balanced. Lovely soft tannins.
November 8, 2020 - 1+ hour decant and kept evolving throughout the evening. This still has plenty of life left in it. Cab franc really shines through...long and smooth finish with great balance.
