Community Tasting Note

• Keith Levenberg Likes this wine: 93 points

  September 18, 2019 - I've had so many magnificent old Talbots - and not so many magnificent young Talbots - but this is the best in awhile, so promising and we'll just have to wait and see whether it's back at the level of what they were doing through 1986 or so. Classic Bordeaux aromas right from the pop of the cork, plenty of vibrant ripe fruits in the mix but with an old-style structure you can almost smell - as much grape skin as grape flesh. It has the refreshing tannic bite I liked about the '14 but all the fruit freshness the '14 was lacking. With airtime the texture turns tender and the purity and energy of the fruit get cranked up several more notches and at that point it becomes hard to put down.
