  June 18, 2017 - Of four of these from WineBid, two were essentially past it, & two were lovely mature claret, complex more on the palate than the nose. Even so, the two good ones had more acid in the finish than your ideal St. Emilion. But that's a quibble. Let M. Macron encourage this industry, & the world will line up at his door.

  March 19, 2017 - Fully mature, with a smoky, tobacco, cigar box, floral and cherry nose, with a touch of herbs. The wine is medium bodied, soft, refined and at the perfect stage of development for maximum enjoyment.

  November 4, 2015 - My favorite Corbin of the evening for current drinking. Ripe dark fruits, mellowed soil tones, white and bell pepper, and overall good mature complexity on the nose and palate. A good wine for mid-savory food in its current state.

  March 8, 2015 - Remembering my previous note, this bottle had a similarly inviting profile on the nose but I approached the first taste with no great enthusiasm. This time however, I had plenty of sweet fruit to round out the palate and balance the dusty tannins. This is much more like it.

  January 5, 2015 - Ruby with a clear rim. Nose full of claret. Mouth full of dust. Fruitless and dry. Good collection of savoury notes to provide compensation of a sort. I like secondaries but this really needs some fruit.
