Medium- to full-bodied, this has firm and velvety tannins with a tension and focus that I have not seen for a while. Long and chewy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e96 Wine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis delivers an energetic tumble of blackberry, boysenberry and black currant paste flavors injected with bramble and apple wood and supported by a licorice snap accent. The strapping finish is laced with violet and iris notes, while a cast iron edge lends bass. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95 Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmoky currants, tobacco leaf, leather, and chocolaty notes all define the 2022 Château Talbot, a sensationally textured, concentrated, medium to full-bodied Saint-Julien. It has plenty of mid-palate depth, ripe, building tannins, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish. Based on 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, raised in 60% new oak, it's one of the all-time greats from this château and will have three decades of longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95 Decanter\u003cbr\u003eA great effort in 2022 with such excellent precision and detail to the tannins and fruit. Cool blueberries, blackcurrants, cola, vanilla, tobacco and liquorice all give nuance and interest with fleshy tannins and bright acidity. Great balance of intensity and finesse with such energy from start to finish. Really quite approachable and enjoyable with impressive crystalline aspects and a lovely sense of place. Tasted twice. A yield of 40hl\/ha. Ageing 16 months in barrels, 60% new.\u003cbr\u003eBarrel Sample: 95\u003cbr\u003e93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 Talbot has turned out nicely in bottle, bursting with aromas of cherries, berries, orange zest and petals, framed by a touch of toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with a rich core of fruit, ripe tannins and a long, cigar-inflected finish, it's a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot that matured in 60% new oak.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Talbot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43633170743520,"sku":"113014","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/chateau-talbot-saint-julien-grand-cru-classe_1_f3bd8cc8-8dfd-45f5-ad3b-eeff051ac92e.jpg?v=1667582633","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-talbot-saint-julien-grand-cru-classe-2015-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
