Chateau Talbot 'Connetable Talbot', Saintjulien 2015

Tasting Notes:

The aromas of the wine are subtle, sensual and luxurious aroma of the wine is woven from notes of black cherry, red and shades of tobacco. It  has a delicate, sweet, rich taste with soft notes of ripe black grapes and flowers. 

Tasting Notes:

Good intensity of black and red plum notes with hints of stewed tea, menthol and cassis plus an earthy undercurrent of underbrush and fungi. Medium-bodied, the palate offers plenty of juicy fruit with a chewy frame and a refreshing lift to the finish, making for a great everyday quaffing red!

Tasting Notes:

Notes of figs, haw, rosemary, cigar and mushrooms on the nose. A very earthy mouthfeel with smooth tannins and juicy blackberries on the palate. Ends with the tastse lingering in the mouth.

Tasting Notes:

The resulting blend displays a garnet colour lined by light crimson hues. Pleasing aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants A wine with definition and refinement. Hints of tobacco and chocolate. Full body, super fine and flavorful. Juicy and savory. The walnut and spice on the end is gorgeous. 94-95 JS 

Tasting Notes:

Layered and juicy 2015 with currants, light chocolate and cedar character. It’s full-bodied, round-textured and very pretty. Extremely long and flavorful. So friendly and bright.

Tasting Notes:

The 2015 Réserve de la Comtesse is a superb second wine. Time in barrel and egg white fining have softened some of the tannins the 2015 showed as a barrel sample, but the fruit intensity, pedigree and class of the estate are all in the glass. Black cherry graphite, smoke and licorice are some of the many notes that infuse this potent, almost shockingly virile Comtesse.

Tasting Notes:

Deep in color, with cedar wood, spice, blackberry and gravel scents, this medium/full bodied, tannic, masculine wine requires time before the ample tannins soften and everything comes together.
