Château Talbot 2000 (12 BT)

Château Talbot 2000

St. Julien, 4ème Cru Classé

Levels into the neck, 3 slightly damp-stained labels

In 2018, a startlingly attractive, fresh, black fruit fragrance jumps out of the glass at you. Layers of superb cassis fruit on the palate, with finesse of texture, restrained power and that fabulous freshness of 2010. The silkiness of the tannins is almost a miracle. You feel like eating this and I lapped it up already, although I know that patience is required - sometimes, one cannot resist. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
