CHâTEAU TALBOT--VINTAGE 1982
SAINT-JULIEN, 4ME CRU CLASSé
VERY GOOD APPEARANCE. LEVELS BASE OF NECK OR BETTER
TASTING NOTE: ALONG WITH THE 1986, THE 1982 IS ONE OF THE GREATEST TALBOTS EVER MADE. FAR MORE EVOLVED THAN ITS STABLEMATE, GRUAUD LAROSE, IT EXHIBITS A DENSE GARNET COLOR TO THE RIM ALONG WITH A HUGE, SWEET, EXOTIC NOSE OF CHARCOAL, BEEF BLOOD, LICORICE, HERBS, AND BLACK FRUITS. A HINT OF FIGS SUGGESTS BORDERLINE OVERRIPENESS, BUT THE WINE REMAINS FLESHY AND FULL-BODIED WITH SWEET TANNIN AND AN EXPANSIVE, HEADY MOUTHFEEL. WHILE FULLY MATURE, IT SHOULD HOLD FOR ANOTHER DECADE. 95 POINTS. ROBERT PARKER, WINE ADVOCATE # 183 (JUN 2009)
