Wow, I have heard tell that this was one of the great Talbots and I now believe it. This wine is a testament to 1986 and old bordeaux as a group. The one low point here was a touch of green on the palate. The wine was well integrated in all facets with plenty of fruit in the tank. Best wine of the past week for sure. 96

This wine was lovely. It seems comparing notes that some of these are ready and some need a bit more time. This had an almost cabernet-esq fruit character with very little of the overwhelming briar fruit note of some syrah without going fully to meat and olive. Definently a fan. 94+
