2010 Château Talbot, St Julien, Bordeaux

Description

The 2010 Ch. Talbot is a favourite with many, and with good reason. Don't expect huge detail and complexity, but what it does provide is great focus, a depth of crunchy bright fruit which builds on the palate and serious structure. This is a very generous wine with superb length on a fresh and uplifting finish, perhaps the best since the great 1986?

Critics reviews

Robert Parker 94/100
One of the best Talbots over recent years, and possibly the best since the 1986 and 1982, this sexy juggernaut of a wine struts forth with an opaque plum/ruby/purple color and terrific notes of creme de cassis, licorice, roasted herbs and smoky barbecue. It is a brilliant effort, with full body, wonderful fruit, a savory, expansive mouthfeel, sensational texture and a long finish, but no hardness or astringency. This is a fabulous Talbot to drink over the next 20-25 years.Robert M. Parker, Jr. - 28/02/2013

Rich, very ripe cassis Cabernet fruit, smooth, even succulent flavours, quite an open style in the 2010 vintage.

Dark crimson. Delightful, rather floral fragrance. Medium weight. Polished and fine. A really very winning wine with great balance even if it is not the most intense 2010. For relatively early drinking. jancis_robinson_mw MW- jancis_robinson_mw.com, Apr 2011

The 2010 Ch. Talbot isplump and rather open, with delicious plum, raspberry and black cherry fruit melded with spice and anise. This has a nice chocolaty finish, with a velvety feel. james_molesworth – The Wine Spectator – Mar 2011

It exhibits a dense plum/ruby/purple hue along with sweet boysenberry, black currant, cherry, smoke and licorice aromas and flavors. This deep, medium to full-bodied, classic Talbot should be approachable when released, and age effortlessly for 15 or more years. robert_parker- Wine Advocate- May 2011
