Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
Dense tannins are balanced by rich black-fruit flavors. The attractive and stylish wine shows the generous nature of the vintage.
James Suckling: 93 Points
Plum pastries with violets and spiced blueberry fruits. The palate has impressive plushness and rich, fleshy appeal. Long finish. Try from 2022.
Jeb Dunnuck: 93 Points
From a 13-hectare estate located north and slightly west of the village of Saint-Emilion, the 2015 Château Corbin is mostly Merlot blended with 17% Cabernet Franc, all of which comes from sandier, clay soils. It offers ample notes of ripe cherries, strawberries, dried herbs and bouquet garni, with a beautiful floral quality developing with time in the glass. Ripe, undeniably sexy and polished on the palate, with full-bodied richness and ultra-fine tannin, give bottles a few year and drink over the following 10-15.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc aged for 18 months in barrels, 40% new, the 2015 Corbin is medium garnet-purple colored with cigar box and spice box notions accenting the core of red and black plums, blackberry preserves and earthy layers plus a hint of lavender. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm, elegant and well balanced with grainy tannins, finishing lively and long.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Relying on lush dark fruit and ample toast, this envelopes with its velvety feel while the fig, blackberry and warm ganache notes meld through the finish. Shows more power than grace, but very solid.
Decanter: 91 Points
Could be Annabelle Bardinet’s finest. Poised and precise. Really elegant this year. Smooth texture. Fine grain of tannin. Lift and length on the finish.
