Chateau Corbin 2010

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (92)

Lush, concentrated black currant and kirsch-like fruit, a hint of licorice and some floral notes and subtle background oak jump from the glass of this blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. It is another relatively large-scaled St.-Emilion at 15% natural alcohol, but the good news is that there are nearly 4,500 cases of this wine in the marketplace. The purity, sumptuous texture and seductive nature of this wine will endear it to most readers. Its is certainly a sleeper of the vintage, as Corbin has rarely made a wine of this intensity and richness, at least not in many a year.

Polished and forward, with dense but approachable plum and boysenberry fruit studded with lots of sweet licorice. A well-roasted vanilla bean note glides through the finish.
