Description

Chateau Talbot 2005
St. Julien
owc
Bottle (12)

Property from the cellar of a Denver lady, whose husband was member to the Chevaliers du Tasteduvin and Commanderie de Bordeaux. All wines stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar.

"A strong effort for Talbot, the 2005 is more showy and forward than most wines of this vintage. While there is plenty of tannin, it is sweet and well-concealed behind an intriguing bouquet of sweet herbs, licorice, smoked game, black currants, and cherries. This fleshy, medium to full-bodied St.-Julien exhibits a silky sweetness to its texture and tannins." (90 pts. Robert Parker, Apr. 2008)

"The 2005 Talbot was picked from 22 September until 10 October. Having tasted this several times, this might be the best bottle. Deeper in colour than other vintages, it offers much more fruit: blackberry, bilberry and raspberry tinged with cedar and a faint estuarine tang. These aromatics just have more substance than other vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity. It is not the most complex 2005 Saint-Julien but there is grip and matière, notes of soy and black pepper lining the finish that will benefit from another two or three years in bottle. Very fine." (92+ pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Dec. 2018)
