Still one of the best wines from this vintage, particularly in the Medoc, this wine shows notes of licorice, compost, saddle leather, and black fruits. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and lush, with low acidity, ripe fruit, and an intriguing underlying smoky, herbaceous note, this concentrated, fully mature Talbot should be drunk over the next 5-7 years.
Sexy, almost decadent, featuring rich tobacco, chocolate, and wet earth aromas and flavors. Full-bodied and very silky with a long rich finish.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 17/20 points.
