". . . there is a lot to like here as well in its complex bouquet of black cherries, cassis, cigar smoke, lovely, gravelly soil tones and a touch of residual bell pepper still in residence in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, suave and beautifully balanced, with a very good core, fine focus, moderate tannins and lovely length and grip on the classy finish. Good juice . . ."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
Chateau Talbot is a Fourth Growth estate in Saint-Julien, Bordeaux, producing generous, supple and reliably classic Cabernet-based wines from its large single vineyard.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
