2015 Chateau Talbot 4. Cru

France / Bordeaux / Medoc / Haut-Medoc / Saint-Julien 4. Cru Rouge

2015 Château Talbot 4. Cru. 
 
Wine Enthusiast 94/100 tasting notes: "This wine seems to be all about structure and tannins. The fruit comes through slowly and has a way to go in its development. But black currants are there, ripe and promising well for the future. Just don't drink before 2025".

The Wine Cellar Insider/Jeff Leve 92/100 tasting notes: "A well made charmer. The wine opens with a smoke and espresso filled nose that adds black cherry, licorice and cassis as the wine takes in air. Soft, refined, forward and open, a few years will add more to the round textured, polished finish".

Blend: 
66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot.

Legend relates that the name of this imposing estate originates with Connétable Talbot, a famous English warrior, defeated at the battle of Castillon 1453. Talbot is one of the Medoc’s oldest estates, its glory never tainted. Through the years it has been fortunate enough to remain in good hands. The Bignon-Cordier family manages this Saint-Julien 4th Grand Cru Classé estate.
