Château Talbot--Vintage 1982
Saint-Julien, 4me cru classé
Lot 242 levels into neck. Lot 243 levels: four into neck and eight base of neck
Tasting Note: One of the great Talbots, the 1982 exhibits a dark garnet/purple colour as well as spectacular aromatics consisting of melted liquorice, briny olives, blackcurrants, aged beef, new saddle leather, and cherry liqueur. Powerful and full-bodied, with spectacular concentration, it is not dissimilar from its sibling, the prodigious 1982 Gruaud-Larose. This exotic effort possesses a level of "brett" that tasters weaned on sterile, new world wines will find objectionable. However, a touch of "brett" can add complexity, as it does with this 1982 Talbot. Anticipated maturity: now-2012. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 129, June 2000.
