Dense ruby/purple-colored

forest floor and mossy bark

Already quite soft and round on the front palate with fine tannins only on the very end

There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the lightly stony and chalky-textured flavors that terminate in a linear

Pinot Noir from Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne

Corbin other_regions Dense ruby/purple-coloredBased on an 80 20 split of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the 2009 Chteau Corbin sports a still youthful ruby plum color to go with gorgeous aromas and flavors of red and black currants, spring flowers, green tobacco, white truffle, and some obvious mineral like nuances. Upfront, beautifully textured, and elegant, this powerful yet pure, noble Saint Emilion is going to continue drinking beautifully for at least another decade. Bravo!
