Château Talbot
Saint-Julien Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
St. Julien, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot & 3% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby with aromas of black fruit and floral aromas. On the palate blackberry, currant and plum flavors with cacao, tobacco and oak notes. Fine tannins, long finish, good balance ending with fruit, cacao, tobacco, earthy herbs and toasty cedar notes. Will age another 10 years!

A very enjoyable Left Bank Bordeaux. Showing red and black fruits with earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, wet leaves, black tea and black pepper.
This great vintage red is still young, and needs another 5 to 10 years of bottle time. Already showing nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Long finish with firm tannins and tangy raspberries.
Needs a couple of hours to open up properly and show the tannins and complexity.
Wine Enthusiasts 94 points.

Thick, great legs, acid and tannic, subtle berries, maybe some chocolate, wonderful finish and great length. Tremendous balance. My new favorite bordeaux
