Lighter-bodied than most of its peers, but fresh and well-focused, with raspberry and currant notes carried by a finish that gains a succulent edge at it opens up.

Medium to deep garnet-purple in colour, the 2015 Grand Corbin-Despagne has gorgeous purity of crushed blackberries on the nose with hints of fragrant earth, roses and menthol plus a waft of unsmoked cigars. The medium-bodied palate is firm with energetic fruit, a lively blackbone and a long, earthy finish.
