Grand Corbin-Despagne St-Emilion 2024

The 2024 Grand Corbin Despagne is very fine. Plush contours wrap around a core of plum, blackberry, licorice, spice and menthol. Medium in body, with lovely density, the 2024 is impeccable in its balance. This is a terrific showing in a very difficult year. Drinking window: 2032-2044. (Antonio Galloni,vinous.com)
