Chateau Corbin Saint Emilion 2016 (750ml)
Chateau Corbin Saint Emilion 2016 (750ml)
Refined and elegant, the 2016 Corbin delivers an aromatic lift of red currants, graphite, dried flowers, and earthy undertones. Medium to full-bodied, it flows gracefully across the palate with vibrant energy, showcasing a limestone-influenced freshness and purity of fruit. The tannins are finely textured, supporting flavors of blackberries, tobacco, and a gentle touch of spice. With solid mid-palate depth and a long, poised finish, this is a beautifully crafted Saint-Émilion with years of life ahead.

From a 13-hectare vineyard located north and west of the village of Saint-Emilion, the 2016 Château Corbin (83% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc aged in 50% new oak) showed beautifully in all my tastings. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by a beautifully pure, elegant 2016 that gives up lots of limestone character in its red currants, graphite, dried flowers, and earthy aromas and flavors. This medium to full-bodied effort has solid mid-palate depth, a fine, elegant texture, ample structure, and a great finish. It's going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and cruise for 15+ years.

Brimming with blackberries, supple tannins and lively acidity, this is an immediately attractive St.-Emilion that’s easy to enjoy with food now, but has the structure to age for some years. Drink or hold.

The 2016 Corbin, matured in 50% new oak, has a ravishing bouquet of red plum, bergamot and touches of peppermint. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannin and good backbone. Not complex, but fresh and well balanced, leading to a lightly spiced finish. Perhaps the insider’s choice on the Right Bank?
