Blueberries, ripe cherries, plums, dried lavender, bark and bay leaves on the nose. It's medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. Fresh and balanced, with ripe-berry and subtle herb character.

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.

The 2019 Corbin has come together beautifully with elevage. Succulent black cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather and licorice all flesh out, giving this succulent Saint-Emilion tons of energy and sheer appeal. Attractive floral and savory accents linger on the close.

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.
