Tasting notes
The 2022 Corbin has turned out beautifully, offering up sweet aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with hints of licorice, bay leaf and iris. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's velvety and enveloping, with the suave, polished profile typical of this sector, married with an unusual dimension of power and volume.

Based on Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Château Corbin is juicy and floral, with graphite, spicy wood, truffle, and mineral-laced aromatics. Medium to full-bodied, it’s fresh and focused on the palate, with an elegant, layered profile. It’s impeccably made, and I think it has some upside. Give bottles 3-5 years if you can and enjoy through 2042.
Cask sample. Deep crimson. Sweet and fragrant. Rather soft and easy. A charmer for the short term. (JR)
