1995 vintage. I have little experience with Corbin, an estate that has a long history of female owners ( currently Annabelle Cruse), but this is a very convincing 27 years old Saint-Emilion. Fully mature with delicate strawberry fruit, a fresh and charming old school Saint-Emilion. Abv. 12,5%. Makes me want to taste the more recent vintages. — 2 years ago

Middle of the road body. Nose is tart raspberry and roasted plum. Palette is macerated strawberry with a hint of basil. Crowd pleaser. Could cocktail or pair with food very easily. — 3 months ago

Pretty much a perfect pet nat.
Light salmon pink hue
Aromas of dried roses, strawberries, and watermelon that also come through in the palate — with yeasty, earthy effervescence.
I drank this 2 years ago and still think about it… — 7 months ago

I know that 2012 wasn’t a perfect year but this still underperformed. Have a lot of nostalgia for D’Issan after Emmanuel Cruse (the proprietor) oversaw the Bordeaux tasting competition where my wife and I met. Very little fruit on the mid palate. Bit thin on the finish. Definitely left bank - the nose is very nice. Good pairing with beef tenderloin slow roasted but still a smidge below what I hoped. — 9 months ago

Bright beige gold with fine persistent bubbles. Enticing aroma of green apple and honey. Medium palate yield green apple, grape skin, and a strong floral note mid-palate to finish. Good balance between fruitiness and seemingly natural acidity. Short but tight finish. One of the best dealcoholized sparklers I’ve had. Cruse has managed to maintain flavor without over sweetening and to keep it bright without that fake citric acid taste. Excellent for those cutting down on alcohol and those who celebrate with them. Drink now. — 2 years ago
