Chateau Talbot, 4ème G.C.C, 1855 St. Julien 2016 lawsons-dry-hills Produced mostly from Mourvèdre butThe 2016 Talbot takes a little coaxing from the glass. The almost Margaux like nose features pure blackberry and black cherries, and violets come through with time. You just want it to give you more. The medium bodied palate is a little gravelly and saline, with fine tannin and a structured finish that needs more finesse and complexity. This is a fine classic Talbot, though not in the same league as the appellations front runners. Drink 2022 2045.
