4eme Grand Cru Classé
Producer Notes
Undeniably, Talbot is one of the most famous Médoc wines. Having been in the same family for more than a century, this estate with more than one hundred hectares of vines produces wine that is recognized for the consistent quality of its vintages. ‘For many, Talbot embodies the ideal Saint Julien, a generous bouquet, extremely stable and dependable during aging,’ emphasize Bettane and Desseauve in their Guide to French Wines. It’s true, Talbot is a champion of longevity; even young Talbot is pleasant and rounded, always characterized by silky, mild and very civilized tannins. Talbot possesses an expansive character. It’s never withdrawn into itself and has the courtesy of being in a good mood every day. It’s a racy wine, with complex marks of Havana tobacco and licorice, classically delicious without ever the slightest hint of austerity.

2015 Vintage Tasted: Mar 2018
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. . 92 Points

2015 Vintage Tasted: Feb 2018
A big, rich wine for St. Julien with plenty of power and concentration, which enables it to carry plenty of spicy and toasty oak. The tannins need some time to soften, but the elegant finish says that from 2020 this should really impress.

2015 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2018
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.

Note del produttore
Talbot è innegabilmente uno dei vini più famosi del Médoc. Appartenente alla stessa famiglia da oltre un secolo, questa tenuta con oltre cento ettari di vigneti produce un vino riconosciuto per la qualità costante delle sue annate. "Per molti, Talbot incarna il Saint Julien ideale, un bouquet generoso, estremamente stabile e affidabile durante l'invecchiamento", sottolineano Bettane e Desseauve nella loro Guida ai Vini Francesi. È vero, Talbot è un campione di longevità; anche Talbot giovane è piacevole e rotondo, sempre caratterizzato da tannini setosi, delicati e molto raffinati. Talbot possiede un carattere espansivo. Non si chiude mai in se stesso e ha la cortesia di essere di buon umore ogni giorno. È un vino vivace, con complesse note di tabacco Avana e liquirizia, classicamente delizioso senza mai il minimo accenno di austerità.
Finestra per bere

Jeff Leve, esperto di cantine
Annata 2015 Degustata: marzo 2018
Un vino affascinante e ben fatto. Il vino si apre con un naso ricco di fumo e caffè espresso, a cui si aggiungono amarena, liquirizia e cassis man mano che il vino prende aria. Morbido, raffinato, diretto e aperto, qualche anno aggiungerà ulteriore personalità al finale rotondo, strutturato e levigato. 92 punti

Annata 2015 Degustata: febbraio 2018
Un vino corposo e corposo per St. Julien, con grande potenza e concentrazione, che gli permettono di esprimere appieno le note speziate e tostate del rovere. I tannini hanno bisogno di un po' di tempo per ammorbidirsi, ma il finale elegante anticipa un 2020 che promette grandi soddisfazioni.

Annata 2015 Degustata: gennaio 2018
Questo vino sembra puntare tutto su struttura e tannini. Il frutto emerge lentamente e ha ancora molta strada da fare per evolversi. Ma il ribes nero è presente, maturo e promette bene per il futuro. Da non bere prima del 2025.

Notes du producteur
Talbot est incontestablement l'un des vins les plus célèbres du Médoc. Appartenant à la même famille depuis plus d'un siècle, ce domaine de plus de cent hectares de vignes produit un vin reconnu pour la qualité constante de ses millésimes. « Pour beaucoup, Talbot incarne le Saint-Julien idéal, un bouquet généreux, extrêmement stable et fiable au vieillissement », soulignent Bettane et Desseauve dans leur Guide des vins de France. Il est vrai que Talbot est un champion de la longévité ; même jeune, Talbot est agréable et rond, toujours caractérisé par des tanins soyeux, doux et très civilisés. Talbot possède un caractère expansif. Il ne se renferme jamais sur lui-même et a la courtoisie d'être de bonne humeur au quotidien. C'est un vin racé, aux notes complexes de tabac de Havane et de réglisse, d'une gourmandise classique sans la moindre trace d'austérité.

Jeff Leve, L'initié de la cave à vin
Millésime 2015 Dégusté : mars 2018
Un vin charmeur bien fait. Le nez s'ouvre sur une note fumée et expresso, qui se pare de cerise noire, de réglisse et de cassis à l'aération. Doux, raffiné, franc et ouvert, quelques années lui permettront d'affiner sa finale ronde, texturée et polie. 92 points

Millésime 2015 Dégusté : Fév 2018
Un vin ample et riche pour Saint-Julien, puissant et concentré, qui lui confère une belle présence boisée épicée et grillée. Les tanins ont besoin de temps pour s'assouplir, mais la finale élégante laisse présager qu'à partir de 2020, ce vin devrait vraiment impressionner.
À propos de James Suckling
Passionné de vin
Millésime 2015 Dégusté : janvier 2018
Ce vin semble tout en structure et en tanins. Le fruit se révèle lentement et a encore du chemin à parcourir. Mais le cassis est bien présent, mûr et prometteur. À ne pas boire avant 2025.
