This was just great from the barrel and it is even better now that it is bottled. The wine is lush, round, deep, rich and complex. There is depth, freshness and complexity that shines through with all of its layers of deep, red fruits, black cherries, plums, cocoa and wet earth. This is already showing well, but with a few years in the cellar, it is going to be even better. This is the finest vintage of Grand Corbin-Despagne ever produced. Drink from 2024-2036.

93 vvPunkte (75% Merlot, 24% Cabernet-Franc, 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15%, verkostet im Dezember 2021 in Windisch). Kräftiges Rubinrot. Die Nase ist eindrücklich, ausladend, tief und sehr komplex, florale Töne, schwarze Johannisbeeren, Brombeeren, Kräuter, Schwarztee, dunkle Schoklolade, Minze, ein Gedicht. Der Auftakt ist kräftig, sehr vollmundig, feinste Tannine umgarnen die perfekt reife Frucht, die 15% sind gut verpackt, der Wein zeigt Harmonie, Kraft und Finesse. Man mag sich über die hohe Alkoholgradation wundern, doch glaubt mir, dieser Wein ist trotz seiner Kraft hochelefgant. Dürfte schon früh Trinkspass bieten und gut reifen. 2024-2038 vvWine.ch

Barrel sample from 3 June 2020. Rounded, good weight of ripe and plummy fruit, liquorous finish. More about pleasure than about finesse, but certainly a very satisfying wine. 89-91.

Floral, with black and blue fruit, wet earth, smoke and licorice, the wine is silky and polished with an elegant nature, leaving with more of that delicious black and blue fruit in the finish. This could become the finest vintage of Grand Corbin-Despagne ever produced. 91-93 Pts

PnP - still young obviously but already approachable, with a juicy mouth feel and refined tannins. Promising and very good value for money.

In the bouquet and on the palate beautiful dark and red berries as well as some green bell pepper. Juicy acidity and tannin. Try again around 2029.
