Chateau Corbin, St. Emilion Grand Cru 2005

Purple/red.

Deep, integrated nose - black fruit, toasted nut, earth, herbs ... Suave, not obliterated by new oak.

Similar easy, fluid flavor flow - adds a pepper note in the mouth. Structure builds into the finish, coating the side teeth in mineral/tannic chew. Probably best over the next 5-7 years. Could drink quite a bit of this.
