Fourth Growth. Quatrieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855.
Critic tasting note: "Powerful, masculine, brawny and still tannic, the wine is concentrated with beefy, dark fruits, earth and tobacco. Classic in style, with a lot of earth, cigar box, cedar and barnyard, some people are going to like this more than others. 91 Points" - 91/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

- Producer Notes
- Undeniably, Talbot is one of the most famous Médoc wines. Having been in the same family for more than a century, this estate with more than one hundred hectares of vines produces wine that is recognized for the consistent quality of its vintages. ‘For many, Talbot embodies the ideal Saint Julien, a generous bouquet, extremely stable and dependable during aging,’ emphasize Bettane and Desseauve in their Guide to French Wines. It’s true, Talbot is a champion of longevity; even young Talbot is pleasant and rounded, always characterized by silky, mild and very civilized tannins. Talbot possesses an expansive character. It’s never withdrawn into itself and has the courtesy of being in a good mood every day. It’s a racy wine, with complex marks of Havana tobacco and licorice, classically delicious without ever the slightest hint of austerity.

1986 Vintage Saved: 14-Jan-2020
The wine has been cellared perfectly for years. It still has nice fruit. Classic St Julien Bordeaux. Beautiful color, fabulous nose and actually hard pressed to detect age. No mustiness as many old wines ten to have. All and all this wine has been an recent experience
