2008 - Chateau Talbot

"The evolved, soft, silky 2008 Talbot is unquestionably a sleeper of the vintage, offering a dark plum/garnet color, loads of roasted herb, berry, black cherry, plum and Asian spice aromas intermixed with an attractive forest floor-like note. Already drinking well, this medium-bodied St.-Julien should continue to evolve for 10-15+ years."

"Ripe and rather direct, with a tasty beam of raspberry, blackberry and black currant notes pushed by velvety tannins. Shows a smoldering edge on the refined finish. Drink now through 2017. 25,833 cases made. _JM"
