2005 Château Le Prieuré St. Émilion Grand Cru

Cellared for one year after purchasing. Decanted about one hour. Drank for one and half hour.
1. Eye: Pale but little bit dark. Leaves pinky shade when swirled inside glass.
2. Nose: Way too timid in the beginning; develops very slowly into black currant and cedar; powerful tobacco and mocha in the last glass
3. Tongue: Silky and still silky; tastes like a mixture of fruits and petals
4. Palate: light-but-moody texture in the beginning; well-balanced but characteristic features develop.
5. Finishing: Highly sustainable, resistant but worth waiting.
6. Overall: Excellent and delicate but still young. Possibly best around 2014.
