Chateau Corbin 2018
A dark and intense red colour, with fine and subtle aromas with intense notes of licorice and raspberry. On the palate, tasty with tension, the wine develops fleshy on a nice fruity structure for a long finish.
"Coming from the northwestern part of Saint-Emilion, not far from the border of Pomerol, the 2018 Château Corbin is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc that was brought up in 50% new French oak. This rockingly good Saint-Emilion has a perfumed nose of black raspberries, blackberries, toasted spice, dried flowers, and loamy earth. Much more refined and elegant now from bottle than barrel, it’s medium to fullbodied and has some classic Saint-Emilion chalky minerality, quality tannins, and a great finish. This is well worth seeking out, and while it already offers pleasure, it’s going to benefit from just 3-4 years of bottle age and drink brilliantly for 10-15 years." - Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Critic
