Tasting notes
The 2019 Château Talbot, a Saint-Julien red, is generally described as having a dense purple hue with rich aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, chocolate, tobacco, and licorice. Some wine reviewers have also noted the presence of scorched earth, smoked tobacco, and spicy wood. The palate is typically medium to full-bodied, with juicy black fruits, chewy tannins, and a savory finish. It's often described as balanced and structured, with good aging potential. Some reviewers say it's showing bright acidity and a long finish with fruit and earthy mineral tones.
