Community Tasting Note

Ex-Ray Likes this wine:

Monday, June 15, 2015 - Medium garnet color, only slightly translucent, with some brick color and browning at the edges. Amazingly pronounced complex nose of cedar, tobacco, leather, a touch of anise, and smoky toasted French oak. On the palate, still plenty of fruit, but perfectly balanced with acidity; very little tannin left. The fruit still dominates the structure, as it should. The same aroma components are present in the flavor, with anise a bit more pronounced. The alcohol comes through in a slightly hot aftertaste, which just keeps going. Talbot has always been one of our favorites, delivers a great wine for the price. We cherish every bottle of our '80's, but not too many left. If you have this wine, by all means open and enjoy!
