CHÂTEAU TALBOT 1982
Saint-Julien. 4ième Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn. 1 x vts. 3 x soiled, wrinkled & scraped labels.
Along with the 1986, the 1982 is one of the greatest Talbots ever made. Far more evolved than its stablemate, Gruaud Larose, it exhibits a dense garnet color to the rim along with a huge, sweet, exotic nose of charcoal, beef blood, licorice, herbs, and black fruits. A hint of figs suggests borderline overripeness, but the wine remains fleshy and full-bodied with sweet tannin and an expansive, heady mouthfeel. While fully mature, it should hold for another decade. WA 95
