2015 Grand Corbin Manuel

The 2015 Grand Corbin Manuel is a blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon matured in 60% new oak. It has a fresh, classic Saint Emilion bouquet, very fresh and delineated, attractive sous-bois aromas emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well-judged acidity, nothing ambitious or extraordinary, but here is a classic, almost old fashioned Saint Emilion that will be absolutely delicious when bottled.
