Baking spices on top of black cherries, berries and a hint of chocolate. Structured and dense but pretty chalky and evenly packed, showing a medium to full body and a lengthy finish.

The 2022 Grand Corbin is densely packed with blackberry, black cherry, new leather, licorice, incense and mocha. This is a very powerful, dark and brooding Saint-Emilion with heavy torrefaction notes. Big, rich and heady, it is not the most complex wine out there, but it sure is delicious. The long, resonant finish is very satisfying.

A dense and concentrated wine, this has rich tannins from black fruits and a solid texture. The wine is powerful and set for aging.

A flash of mesquite leads off, followed by cherry and dark plum pâte de fruit flavors, all zipped up with worn cedar and savory notes through the finish. Warm earth echoes through the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
