Divin de Corbin 2018, St Emillion
Medium to deep ruby . Black fruits - black cherry + plums . Spicy - pepper , liquorice tinge. smoky woody . acidic high w tanin. Balance . Medium intensity w some restraint. Finished long . 2nd wine of Ch Corbin ( 80% merlot + 20% cab franc- that prob adds the acidity n spicy intensity) 2018 Winter was easy w plenty of rain, which unfortunately also carried through spring. This was rescued by a warn, hot and dry summer all the way thr harvest n hence giving very good quality grape w opulent aroma.I can deduce that's why 80% merlot in this 2nd wine. Was told this wine was meant for early drinking (prob due to medium intensity) Drinking the next day, the tertiary aroma of chocolate + coffee appears.surprise for a 2018 wine
