Petit Corbin Despagne

Château Haut-Segottes

Clos Petit-Corbin St. Émilion Le Clarence de Haut-Brion 2018

Smells tight right out of the bottle through an aerator (as you’d expect). Tastes very good! But, anonymous. It tastes like very good high quality wine. — 3 years ago

Château Grand Corbin-Despagne

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

The nose is different. Much more woodsy and less fruit than I’d have imagined. The flavour profile was blackberry based and again, some wood. Some eucalyptus and green grass. Also some wet soil and cloves. The tannins weren’t a punch in the face by any means, but also haven’t haven’t completely softened as you might expect in a ten year-old. The palate was uninspiring as there was a watery-ness in the mid palate. I’m not sure whether this is over the hill or just not quite there yet and in a dumb phase? Will wait and see for the final two bottles. Solid, I guess. Not yet amazing. — 6 years ago
