Community Tasting Note

  • Stefan75 wrote: 91 points

    September 19, 2022 - From Mag, not really convincing fror me this time, good nose but over 2h did not really open-up, a bit tight and dry, lots of sediment despite having stored the bottle vertically for 2 weeks prior drinking.

Talbot, which is a league or two down from the top tier (and a wine I love) and that is only starting to show its true colours now.
