TASTING NOTES:

Wine Rating: RP 94 points
Drink by: 2013 - 2038

One of the best Talbots over recent years, and possibly the best since the 1986 and 1982, this sexy juggernaut of a wine struts forth with an opaque plum/ruby/purple color and terrific notes of creme de cassis, licorice, roasted herbs, and smoky barbecue.
It is a brilliant effort, with full-body, wonderful fruit, a savory, expansive mouthfeel, sensational texture, and a long finish, but no hardness or astringency. This is a fabulous Talbot to drink over the next 20-25 years.

A prestigious Classified Growth of Saint-Julien, Château Talbot is one of the essential references of the wines of the Left Bank in the Bordeaux region. Having been in the same family for more than a century, this estate with more than one hundred hectares of vines produces wine that is recognized for the consistent quality of its vintages.

Benefiting from the expertise of Nancy Bignon-Cordier, oenologist Eric Boissenot, and consultant Stephane Derenoncourt, the wines of Château Talbot are among the most famous Medoc vintages that are recognized for their consistent quality vintage after vintage. ‘For many, Talbot embodies the ideal Saint Julien, a generous bouquet, extremely stable and dependable during aging,’ emphasize Bettane and Desseauve in their Guide to French Wines.
