2009 Château Talbot (Bordeaux - St. Julien, France)
Wine - Red $114.99 (750mL)

Undeniably, the Fourth Growth Chateau Talbot is one of the most famous Médoc wines. This fine reputation is no doubt due to a mysterious combination of factors, such as the size of its vineyard, nearly one hundred hectares, and the regularity of its wine. Nearly a century in the same family, the name Talbot is concise and hard-hitting, easy to pronounce in all languages and a part of French history. However, the first thing that makes Talbot popular is the wonderful nature of its wine - sophisticated and full of finesse, it impressed with subtlety and terroir rather than sheer power.

For many, Talbot embodies the ideal Saint Julien, a generous bouquet, extremely stable and dependable in a great vintage as 2009.

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. Try in 2018.

Initially generous, the wine then becomes much more solid and dense. The structure is all there along with the ripest fruit. It is delicious and darkly tannic at the same time.
