Jane Anson: Hedgerow brambles, cassis pastille, concentrated and sweet, well balanced, cloves and gunsmoke showing measured oak influence that is helpful to balance out the low phs. Real charm on display. Harvest August 25 to September 15. 35% new oak."

Vinum: Feinduftig, Veilchen, etwas Rosmarin, kühler Kamin; weicher Auftakt, cremige Textur, wird am mittleren Gaumen schlanker, gradliniger, die feinkörnigen Tannine stützen, delikate Frucht, langes, frisches Finale auf Blutorangen und rote Kirschen."

Jeb Dunnuck: A blend of 83% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 12 months in 40% new French oak with the balance in one- and two-year-old barrels, the 2025 Château Grand Corbin has a gorgeous perfume of sweet cassis and raspberries intermixed with spring flowers, violets, and spicy oak. Medium-bodied on the palate, it's balanced, focused, and incredibly precise, with fine-grained tannins and integrated acidity."

Falstaff: Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, breitere Randaufhellung. Floral, kandierte Veilchen, rotes Herzkirsche, ein Hauch von frischen Feigen unterlegt. Saftig, elegant, feine Fruchtsüße, reife Tannine, extraktsüßer Abgang, gute Länge, ein stoffiger Speisenbegleiter mit schokoladigem Nachhall."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Grand Corbin shimmies out with energetic scents of juicy raspberries and fresh blueberries, plus nuances of rose, charcoal, and wild thyme. The medium-bodied palate has a lightly chewy texture with bags of freshness and bold blue and red fruit flavors, finishing long and savory."

Decanter: High-toned fruit aromas, cranberry, red currant, an almost citrus aspect presage a somewhat light palate with red berry fruit. It is important to stress that the tannins are well managed here, maybe almost playing it too safe, as the wine has an almost fleeting sense on the finish, but - overall - this is a fine wine for your barbecue. Medium finish, with plenty of lift."

The Wine Cellar Insider: Soft, supple, creamy, and fresh, the medium-bodied, refined wine offers a core of ripe, sweet, vibrant, berries, and pit fruits, with lingering touches of espresso, plums, licorice, spices, and cherries in the elegant, finish. You can enjoy this in its youth, or age it for more complexity. Drink from 2029-2048."
