This Château Talbot Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé is a dense, dark and intense expression of Cabernet Sauvignon.On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberry and cassis come through with a hint of cigar box. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated, with firm tannins and a lasting finish. The wine has flavors of blackberry, dark chocolate, tobacco and a hint of smoky oak. It is a classic expression of Saint-Julien, with a well-integrated structure and great complexity. This is a wine to age, and will benefit from cellaring for several years.
