Tasting Notes
The 2023 Château Corbin should be outstanding, offering a solid perfume of red, black, and blue fruits as well as a spicy, floral edge. It's medium-bodied, has a pretty, elegant mouthfeel, fine yet firmer tannins, and a beautiful finish. Give it a few years.

Black plums, black cherries, flowers, and licorice shine in the perfume. Elegant, refined, soft, medium-bodied, and with sweet, ripe, fruits, with freshness, this is already charming in your glass. And it is only going to get better with a year or two in the bottle. The wine blends 95% Merlot with 5% Cabernet Franc.
The 2023 Corbin is deep garnet-purple in color. It gallops out of the glass with energetic notes of blackberries, fresh blueberries, and wild strawberries, plus hints of cardamom, violets, and cedar. Medium-bodied, the palate is plush and juicy, with bags of bright fruit and a fragrant finish.
The polish and finesse to this reflects classy and excellent terroir. It’s medium-bodied with dark-berry and stone character. Fine, chewy tannins. Liking this a lot. May be better than 2022?
