Château Talbot--Vintage 1996
Saint-Julien, 4me cru classé
Tasting Note: I tasted this wine three times in January, rating it 88, 89, and 90 with similar tasting notes. The wine is close to being outstanding, exhibiting a saturated dark ruby colour, and excellent aromatics, consisting of black fruits intermixed with licquorice, dried herbs, and roasted meat smells. It is full, with impressive extract, a fleshy texture, low acidity, excellent purity, and a long, deep, chewy finish. This 1996 will be drinkable at a young age, yet keep for 15-20 years. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2017. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 122 (Apr 1999).
