2021 Chateau Talbot Saint-Julien $100+ To use a phrase I

To use a phrase I occasionally roll out…controlled decadence

the 2022 Château Ormes De Pez offers up lots of ripe blue and black fruits as well textbook earth

filling the mouth with depths of pure fruit before the acid pours forth like a canal lock being opened

7+ years along this 2016 is still quite youthful

a welcome touch in a vintage where tannins have frequently been turned up to 11

2021 Chateau Talbot Saint-Julien $100+ To use a phrase I93 Points, Vinous "The 2021 Talbot is an absolutely gorgeous wine. Aromatic, layered and impeccably balanced, Talbot is simply exquisite in 2021. Sweet pipe tobacco, incense, dried flowers, mint, licorice and blue toned fruits are some of the notes that grace this super refined Saint Julien. All the elements are so well balanced. The floral, effusive finish is so inviting." Antonio Galloni
