Vinum: Strahlende Frucht, expressiv, darüber florale Noten, ein zauberhafter Duft; saftiger Gaumen, ungemein fruchtig, druckvoll, dabei hochelegant, perfekt reifes Tannin, stimmige Säure, würzig, mit Rasse und Schliff im Abgang. Ein hervorragender Corbin, der früh verführen dürfte und doch reifen kann."

Decanter: Blueberries and milk chocolate with wild hedgerow notes on the nose, crisp and cool. Creamy and juicy on the palate, both a round and smooth texture as well as bright acidity giving quite a complete expression. Still a touch quiet and firm but there’s a lovely spiced grip from the Cabernets and round mouthfeel from the Merlot. I like this, it’s really not trying too hard. Not overly acidic either, a little bit more plump but not at all fleshy. Ends stony with a graphite and clove edge. Ageing 12 months in oak, 35% new."

The Wine Cellar Insider: Deeply colored, the wine exudes black cherries, flowers, licorice, plums, and chocolate with just a swirl. Lush, silky, concentrated, clean, and pure, there is a wealth of elegantly-textured, fresh, black and red fruits with nothing between you and their essence. Give this just a year or two in the bottle, and it is going to be a knockout. The wine blends 95% Merlot with 5% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2029-2050."

James Suckling: A friendly and delicious wine with a medium body, juicy fruit and a savory finish. Very pretty already."

Wine Advocate: Bursting with aromas of orange zest, sweet berries and cherries, the 2025 Corbin is medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with excellent mid-palate depth, suave tannins and a seamless, refined profile. One of the most charming wines of Saint-Emilion, the 2025 may rival the superb 2022."
