Extremely sexy, soft, supple and opulent, with notes of cedar, herbs, incense and black currant fruit, this is a full-bodied, generously endowed but silky Talbot to drink now and over the next 20+ years. By any standard of measurement, this is irresistible.
Dark plum and blueberry compote notes lead the way, followed by dark cocoa and tobacco. A fleshy feel runs throughout, with a stony edge adding length and balance on the finish.
Aromas of cocoa powder and currants, follow through to a full body, with ultra-fine tannins and a juicy, berry and chocolate aftertaste. Lovely polish to this.
65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot.
Garnet hue. Ripe and welcoming on the nose; marked by the Cabernet and terroir with dark fruit and minty, stony notes to the fore. Sweet attack with a density of fruit on the mid palate which enrobes the tannins. A solar aspect but not excessive. Fine tannins give plenty of length and drive. Already drinkable (if decanted) but still has a way to go. (JL)
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
