08 Château Talbot is a big step up from previous vintages. Cassis, oak, and spice are in the bouquet. Even though opulent in texture, the wine lacks some concentration.

Better on the nose, with its fresh red fruits, herbs, cedar, tobacco and earthy, forest leaf profile, than on the full-bodied, crisp, firm, classic, four square palate.

At least this particular bottle has developed strong balsamic scents that almost overwhelmed the remain, tobacco, cigar box, cedar, leather and lead pencil notes. Not much fruit remained, as the wine has shifted to the sharper, brighter, acidic side of the tart, red berry range. Perhaps larger formats will show better, but this is a risky bottle to purchase today. 3,977 Views Tasted Sep 21, 2018 |
