Description

THe 1982 Chateau Talbot rates an exceptional 95 Points, Robert Parker describes this wine as follows...

"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." Parker, Wine Advocate # 183
Jun 2009.

Rating 95/100 (Parker)

"One of those wines that frequently offers pleasant surprises in mature vintages. The ’82 is one of those. Deep garnet hue, a quintessential Saint Julien nose that is surprisingly fresh and backward for an ’82. Notes of black fruits, sous-bois, cedar and a hint of soy. The palate is very harmonious with fine tannins, a hint of espresso and bitter chocolate and a cigar box finish. Traditional in style, but just so drinkable and fundamentally enjoyable to drink." Neil Martin Wine Journal
