Description
By James Suckling (JS93)
A linear and fine red with very polished tannins. Medium- to full-bodied, refined and pretty. Long and very polished. Drink in 2020.
By Jeb Dunnuck (JD92)
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.
By Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (WA91+)
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.
