Chateau de Fonbel, St. Emilion Grand Cru 2005

Red/purple.

Toasted nut, grilled meat, restrained nose.

Intensely flavored - with mineral chew really taking over the mouth and shutting down the front teeth. Iron note late in the finish. This isn't singing. Can't even make a guttural noise at the moment. Seems far more closed than a bottle several months ago.

$25
