Cassis, black cherries, toasty oak and licorice aromas all dominate the bouquet of the 2015 Château Grand Corbin-Despagne, and it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and balanced on the palate. With solid mid-palate density, ripe tannin, a charming, opulent style, and plenty of length, give bottles 2-3 years and enjoy over the following decade. This cuvee is 75% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in 50% new barrels.
Wine Advocate: 91+ Points
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Grand Corbin-Despagne has gorgeous purity of crushed black cherries and blackberries on the nose with hints of fragrant earth, roses and menthol plus a waft of unsmoked cigars. The medium-bodied palate is firm with energetic fruit, a lively backbone and a long, earthy finish.
Vinous: 91 Points
The 2015 Grand Corbin Despagne is a powerful, brooding wine. Beams of tannin give it much of its shape and overall feel. Savory herbs, smoke, leather and tobacco add to an overall impression of pure power. Give this muscular SaintÉmilion at least a few years to soften. I suspect Grand Corbin Despagne will always display a virile style. Tasted two times.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
Lighter than many of its peers, but caressing in feel from start to finish, with pretty cassis and raspberry puree flavors playing out with light iron and rooibos tea notes. Best from 2020 through 2028.
