The 2006 Chateau Corbin did not open up even after airing it out for an hour or so.Earthy,leather and tannins still predominant.It was lacking in succulence and fat.You would not recognize this as a St.Emilion.It could develop better in a year or two but not by much.

Really love this wine now.I say now because i opened the same bottle last year and it was just closed.No bouquet and no fruit..but it's so different now.It has that meaty and masculine bouquet with a long succulent finish.What a difference a year makes.Decanted for an hour. Will try one next year to see how it develops.
