2019 Chateau Corbin Saint Emilion

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "Aromas of ripe dark and blue fruit with hints of chocolate, licorice and wet earth. It has full body and a firm tannin structure. Chewy and compact. Juicy fruit and hints of crushed stones on the finish. Merlot, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon. "


Jeb Dunnuck - "The 2019 Château Corbin is a complex, medium to full-bodied effort with the spicy red and black fruit character of the vintage as well as notes of dried flowers, Asian spice, chocolate, and lead pencil. Wonderfully balanced, with ripe yet present tannins, a good sense of freshness, and a great finish, it's going to drink nicely for 15-20 years. "


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Whether I landed on an off bottle or simply misunderstood the wine when I tasted it a few months ago is unclear, but what is certain is that I misjudged the 2019 Corbin. Offering up inviting aromas of plums, raspberries, violets, vine smoke and raw cocoa, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, with velvety tannins, succulent acids and an elegant, complete profile. This beautiful wine includes some 15% Cabernet Franc."


Wine Enthusiast - "Ripe fruit and juicy acidity have come together in this dense wine. The tannins and the weight are an important part of its make up, giving richness and ripe fruit flavors. Barrel Sample: 90-92"
