Characteristics and tasting recommendations for Château Talbot 2010
Nose
Subtle, the nose reveals fruity fragrances (candied plums) and roasted notes mingled with hints of smooth oak.
Palate
Full-bodied, the palate is fleshy and offers great depth. The finish is seductive with its refined yet delicate tannins as well as delicious notes of licorice.
