Vinous: 93 Points
The 2018 Grand Corbin-Despagne is bold and racy right out of the gate. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, licorice, expresso and menthol flesh out in this decidedly ample, flamboyant wine.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
Composed of 75% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Grand Corbin-Despagne has a deep garnet-purple color and flamboyant scents of stewed black and red cherries, mulberries and sassafras with an undercurrent of wild blueberries, potpourri and ground cloves, plus a waft of vanilla pod. The full-bodied palate is densely packed with black and blue fruit preserves, supported by firm, ripe, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and perfumed.
Jeb Dunnuck: 91 Points
Lots of red and black fruits, toasted spiced, dried flowers, and baking chocolate notes emerge from the 2018 Château Grand Corbin-Despagne, a full-bodied, ripe, heady, opulent Saint-Emilion with sweet tannins and a great finish. It packs a punch and will be prized by those who like big fruit and texture. A blend of 75% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, it should keep for 10-15 years.
Wine Spectator: 89 Points
This red shows a solid core of cassis and raspberry compote flavors, flanked by a strident singed apple wood note. Good energy through the anise and bramble-accented finish though, so this should unwind with some brief cellaring. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2022 through 2027.
