Talbot 1989 is a classic Bordeaux blend from the renowned Château Talbot, established in the 15th century and situated in the Saint-Julien appellation. This red wine primarily showcases Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, reflecting the terroir of its gravelly soils. It exhibits notes of dark fruit, earth, and subtle herbal undertones, characteristic of its vintage. The wine is structured with firm tannins and a balanced acidity, allowing for potential ageing. Serve it alongside rich meats for a traditional pairing experience.

Bright bricky garnet. More evidently leafy than the Langoa, and that makes it smell younger, still of blackcurrant leaves and capsicum, even lavender, though there is a light meatiness. Not as long as the Langoa but richer than I expected from the nose. There`s still a slight grip in the tannins and I wonder if there always will be. The tannnis may well outlast the fruit. After an hour, more liquorice on the nose and perhaps just a little dry on the palate but not dried out. (JH)
