Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
A sumptuous, complex, Provencal-like bouquet of roasted herbs, cherries, licorice, and underbrush emerges from this dark plum/ruby-colored 2004. Tart acidity provides freshness, but the overall impression is of abundant currant and cherry fruit presented in a forward, superficial style. It is best consumed over the next 10-12 years. Score: 88 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2007-2019 01 June 2007 |

Dense ruby purple with notes of mint, incense, herbs, black currant, and licorice, the 2004 Talbot is medium-bodied, moderately tannic, and slightly austere. It starts off well with an impressive attack, but narrows out in the mouth. It should evolve over a 10- to 14-year period. Score: 87 - 88 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2006-2020 01 June 2006 |
