Château Talbot 1982
Saint-Julien, 4ème cru classé
Slightly oxidized capsules, slightly bin-soiled, damp-affected, creased, and slightly damaged labels
Levels seven base of neck or better and one top shoulder
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. 95 RP
