2000 Château Talbot, France, Bordeaux, Saint-Julien, Wine Review
Purple in color with ruby swirls, Mostly opaque and bright. The nose has cassis, cigar box and spice. Medium to full bodied. Medium tannins. On the palate, this has a nice complexity. Drinking well and closer to maturity. Layers of cassis, earth, tobacco with some char. Nice finish. This is drinking well now but will work better with food. A Lamb stew would be a classic pairing. Drink over the next eight to twelve years.
