I tasted this wine a couple of days ago, at a leaving party for a colleague. It was a special wine bought for him and he opened it and shared it with us. I have blogged about the estate some time ago, and the only other entry about Talbot was one about how well a bottle of the 2000 vintage fared after extending breathing.
The wine was a deep purple ruby with a sweet tobacco wood berry nose. It was sweet smoky woody and fruity on the palate with a touch plummy chanpimui aromas, that extended into an tannic slightly acid backbone. Nice wine which will probably evolve into something more interesting over the next decade or so.
