Readers should be aware that this is a wine I underrated in my original report on the 1998 vintage. It is performing better out of bottle than it did from cask. With age, the mid-section has filled out and the wine has put on weight. A deep plum/garnet colour is accompanied by an up-front, seductive nose of melted liquorice, cedar, plums, black cherries, and cassis. This attractive Talbot is nicely-textured and medium to full-bodied, with sweet tannin. It is pleasing to see how this wine has matured.

Aromas of coffee, plum and blackberry follow through to a full body, with soft and round tannins and tar, berry and roasted coffee bean undertones.

Lightly fruity nose. A touch of volatile acidity. Seems rather lightweight on the palate too, though tannins are grippy.

At Château Talbot, wine combines past and future. Respect for traditions and technological evolution live in perfect harmony. From the alliance of techniques, terroir and the people who passionately work the land, wines of character, harmony and complexity are born. In twenty years, it has become one of the most sought-after wines in the Bordeaux region. It is undeniable that Talbot is one of the most famous growths of the Médoc. This excellent reputation is undoubtedly due to a mysterious combination of several factors: the size of its vineyard, nearly one hundred hectares, the consistency of its wine, in the same family for nearly a century, the name Talbot - short and striking, easy to pronounce in all languages and part of our history... But what primarily makes Talbot popular is the wonderful nature of its wine. "Talbot embodies for many the ideal of Saint Julien, generously bouqueted, very stable and reliable in aging" emphasize Bettane and Desseauve in their Grand Guide des Vins de France. Indeed, Talbot is a champion of longevity, which doesn't prevent it from being pleasant and round even in its earliest youth, always marked by silky and smooth, very civilized tannins. Talbot has an extroverted nature, it is never withdrawn, and has the courtesy to be in good spirits every day. It is a refined wine, with its complex notes of havana and licorice, deliciously classic without ever being austere.
