James Suckling Score: 90-91/100
From proprietress Annabelle Cruse-Bardinet, this dense ruby/purple-colored St.-Emilion offers sweet black cherry and cassis fruit, spring flowers and well-integrated oak, acidity and tannin. Medium-bodied, pure and impressively endowed in an elegant yet authoritative style, this sleeper of the vintage should drink well for 5-8 years. Apr 2014, www.robertparker.com

The Corbin has a sweet, confectionary bouquet. The palate seems to be a little over-extracted towards the finish that is missing some delineation. Tasted April 2012. Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com
