Château Talbot--Vintage 1995
Saint-Julien, 4me cru classé
Tasting note: Cabernet Sauvignon 66 Merlot 24 Cabernet Franc 5 Petit Verdot 2 and, unusually, Malbec 3 Showing well at a British Airways tasting in June 1997: fragrant, cedary; good fruit. At the MW tasting, a touch of Talbot fermier - ripe rustic smell; attractive sweetness but of course still tannic (November 1999). Four months later, a detailed note at the Vinopolis St-Julien tasting of '95s. Not as deep as some of the '95s but a very polished appearance; a really beautiful fragrance, cedar pencils (farmyard not noted this time); interesting texture, crisp fruit, straightforward, a bit four-square, dry finish. Last tasted March 2000 **(**) 2005 - 2015 M.B.
