Chateau Talbot 1986 St. Julien, 4eme Cru Classe u: two very top shoulder, nine top shoulder, one high shoulder "A fabulous wine, and one of the two greatest Talbots of the last 50 years, this wine still has a very murky garnet/plum/purple color and a spectacular nose of sweet creme de cassis intermixed with freshly ground pepper, melted road tar, herbes de Provence, and beef blood. It is followed by an enormously concentrated wine of full body, layers of concentration and sweet tannin. The wine seems to be just hitting its plateau of maturity, where it should last for at least 10-15 more years. A prodigious Talbot." R. Parker for TWA, 96 pts. 01/03 12 bottles (owc)
