Description
This estate is on a roll and the 2018 Chateau Talbot wine might just be the best yet. A deep purplish blue color is followed by a mammoth-sized bouquet of crème de cassis, dark chocolate, tobacco, and lead pencil. The 2018 Chateau Talbot wine has a rich, full-bodied, and powerful, it nevertheless stays pure, balanced, and elegant, with a beautiful finish. Its tannins are ripe and integrated, it has balancing acidity, and this is unquestionably another beautiful vintage for this estate. A great St-Julien that reflects the estate more than the vintage.
