In a few words ...
"Talbot embodies for many the ideal of Saint Julien, generously bouqueted, very stable and reliable with ageing" emphasize Bettane and Desseauve in their Grand Guide des Vins de France J. Suckling: 93-94/100
A pure delight for this Saint Julien, whose reputation is well established.
Tasting notes
Appearance
Dense, dark garnet color, drawing on purple in its youth.
Aroma
The nose reveals notes of violet and empyreumatic like wood, roasting, vanilla ... In aging, the wine will reveal very high quality game or truffle aromas.
Wine Empyreumatic | Fruity | Smoked
Taste
The wines of Saint-Julien are famous for mixing the feminine finesse of Margaux wines with the strength of Pauillac wines. We will find therefore structured tannins with a note of black fruits important that will give an interesting overall balance.
Wine Fruity | Long

Discreet nose of almond and leather. Still a lot of substance. Quite elegant overall. Magnum version always better.
