1975 Chateau Grand Corbin Despagne - St. Emilion MAGNUM (1.5L) Ex-Chateau
"I took advantage of a harvest meal among professionals to open a magnum of Grand Corbin-Despagne 1975.
This allowed me to refresh my olfactory memory.
A bit of airing did it good; I hadn’t decanted it.
It was enjoyed very well, even 24 hours later.
Beautiful notes of forest floor, truffle, and cigar box.
The palate, with a bit of air, showed velvety smoothness without any thinness.
Nice length with notes of forest floor and candied fruits in alcohol."
-Francois Despagne
