Tapped this beast on Corbin and I had to go more than 2/3 down the bottle, maybe fifth glass in five separate sessions, before it started to open up. lots of everything, mostly ripe and thickly layered black fruit that takes a long time to unwind. When I finally does, then it starts giving room to a bit of tobacco, leather, maybe even graphite, medium acidity, and a touch of bitterness, coupled with medium grained fruit driven tannins.
