[Chateau Talbot 2010]
Robert Parker rating: 94/100(2013)
Chateau Talbot is undoubtedly one of the most famous wineries in Médoc.Several mysterious factors combined to create the winery's current fame: one legend is that the original owner of the winery was General Talbot from the UK.As is well known, Chateau Talbot is a champion of aging potential.However, this quality does not prevent it from being beautiful, round, and easy to drink when young, with soft and delicate tannins.Chateau Talbot's wines have an outgoing character and never close themselves off.This is a very pure and characterful wine, with complex aromas of Havana cigars and licorice, a classic tradition.
"This is one of the best Chateau Talbot wines in recent years, possibly the best since 1986 and 1982. This sexy Chateau Talbot has an opaque pear/ruby/purple color and excellent blackcurrant, licorice, roasted vanilla, and smoky flavors."This is an outstanding product, with a full-bodied structure, wonderful fruit flavors, a rich and smooth palate, and a long finish, but without any hardness or astringency.It is an excellent Chateau Talbot that can be enjoyed over the next 20-25 years.
