Château Talbot, Cru Classé St-Julien 2010

750ml

SGD 181.00

94 points, Robert Parker

One of the best Talbots over recent years, and possibly the best since the 1986 and 1982, this sexy juggernaut of a wine struts forth with an opaque plum/ruby/purple color and terrific notes of creme de cassis, licorice, roasted herbs and smoky barbecue. It is a brilliant effort, with a full body, wonderful fruit, a savory, expansive mouthfeel, sensational texture and a long finish, but no hardness or astringency. This is a fabulous Talbot to drink over the next 20-25 years.

Tasting Notes: The 2010 Château Talbot offers a complex and evolving bouquet. On the nose, you might encounter elegant aromas of black currant, blackberry, and plum, complemented by secondary notes of leather, cedar, tobacco, and spice. Hints of licorice, smoke, and earth may also emerge with further swirling. This wine should be decanted. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and expressive, with flavors mirroring the nose. The ripe black fruit is balanced by savory notes of earth, leather, and spice. The tannins are present but supple, providing structure without being overwhelming. The medium acidity keeps the wine fresh and lively. The finish is long and lingering, leaving hints of dark fruit and spice.

Discover the Winery: Château Talbot

Château Talbot is a prestigious estate in Saint-Julien, Bordeaux. Renowned for its classic Saint-Julien qualities – generous bouquet, aging potential, and structure – it's a favorite among connoisseurs. The Cordier family, who have owned the estate since 1918, are dedicated to producing exceptional wines. Château Talbot boasts a rich history. Named after a 15th-century English soldier, it was classified as a Fourth Growth in 1855. Today, the 107-hectare estate is meticulously managed, with 102 hectares planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. During harvest, meticulous hand-selection ensures only the ripest grapes reach the state-of-the-art vat room. The winemaking process involves a dedicated team, including the Cordiers and renowned consultants. Château Talbot even produces the unique white wine, Le Caillou Blanc, a rarity in Saint-Julien. Château Talbot wines are known for their ageability and versatility. They can be enjoyed young with decanting or cellared for years to develop further complexity. Their signature style combines silky tannins with charming aromas, making them a delight for any wine lover.
