2021 Chateau Grand Corbin

Other Reviews....
The 2021 Grand Corbin is an attractive, supple Saint-Émilion that should drink well with minimal cellaring. Juicy dark cherry, plum, spice, new leather and mocha are front and center. The tannins need to soften, but this is promising. Tasted two times. Drink 2023 - 2033.

Creamy oak spices with currants, plums and some walnuts. Juicy and firm on the palate with the linear, medium body being enveloped by nicely chewy tannins. Medium-long finish to close. Drink now.

A beautiful effort from this château, which is located in more northern part of the appellation, the 2021 Château Grand Corbin offers a lively perfume of red fruits, spring flowers, and spicy oak. With medium-bodied richness, a pure, elegant, charming character, and outstanding length, it's a joy to drink already yet will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and evolve nicely over the following decade or more. Drink: 2026- 2037.

Slightly sharp and sour on the initial taste, a burst of raspberries, green apple and just picked cherries which then fades quite quickly into quite mineral, creamy chocolate, liquorice and cola laden flavours that coat the mouth. Tannins have a touch of a grip to them giving the mineral aspect even more. It's well made with a good construction and underlying power. Needs a few more years but there's enough freshness to sustain early to mid term ageing. Drink: 2025 - 2040.

One of several estates in Saint-Emilion under the Corbin name, this is a dense, structured wine. Its blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc gives tannins and richly juicy black fruits. Drink from 2026.
