Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 29, 2024 - Talbot has been on a roll under the aegis of Jean-Michel Laporte. The promise the 2020 Talbot showed at the UGC tasting is vindicated with this in-bottle tasting with a big, blackberry and cassis nose, accompanied by a little chestnut and unsmoked cigar, very broad-shouldered in 2020 style. Yet it’s freshened by pencil and a salty marine element, nori-like. For all its juiciness, there’s tremendously zippy acid and the tannin is pretty sophisticated already. This finishes well and I suspect only a few more years will be required to integrate its oak. The drinking window should be very, very long indeed - while perfectly enjoyable off of a steakhouse list today (actually a bit closed 12 hours later), I expect this to age effortlessly for at least 60 years… Probably longer. 92-94
