Château Talbot, 4ème Cru Classé, St Julien, 2014

Aromas of blackcurrant, cherry, plum, clove and star anise lead the way, with bramble, orange zest and cigar box bringing freshness and lift. The 2014 tannins provide a firm, well-structured backbone, while subtle tertiary notes of saddle leather and dried leaves are beginning to emerge on the finish.
