93-94/100

Novembre 2018: Blended of 89% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc aged in 50% new and 33% one-year-old French oak for 18 months, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Corbin has quite a meaty nose with smoked meats and beef drippings over a core of black plum preserves with hints of bay leaves and garrigue. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm and grainy with a great core of muscular fruit and an earthy finish.

93/100

Mars 2018: Anabelle Cruse works on elegance without sacrificing the fleshiness of her rich berry fruits. I really like this, it shows great balance and has punch but controls its delivery. 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc on gravel-clay soils.

91/100

Mars 2019: Raspberry puree, plum reduction and cherry paste flavorsroll through in this red, carried by velvety structure. Red licorice and fruitcake notes peek in on the finish. Polished overall but has good energy through the finish, with a lingering apple wood hint. Drink now through 2033. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 5,750 cases made.

Un premier vin élégant, au nez de fruits rouges et de vanille, agrémenté de subtiles nuances végétales. En bouche, il est harmonieux, frais et gourmand jusqu'à la jolie finale réglissée. À attendre pour plus de complexité.

16/20

Mars 2019: Joli nez de fruits noirs et rouges bien murs. Quelques touches florales également. Juteux et suave en entrée, puis prend de l'ampleur avec des tanins veloutés et une finale sur la tension. Un très bel ensemble. Partipour 15/20 ans.
