Chateau Clarke, Listrac-Medoc, Bordeaux 2005

Opaque purple/red.

Toast, coconut, black fruit, clay/earth.

Deep, sweet black raspberry flavor front and center, earth and spice notes follow. Middle-weight, but very, very good density. Coconut kicks in on the finish. Reasonably fine structure hits the front teeth without disrupting flavor flow. This needs 4-5 years and should drink well for several more after that.

Nice stuff.
