Tasting Notes
Complex and mature nose, with tertiary aromas of dried blackcurrant, plum, and fig. Secondary aromas include leather, cedar, tobacco, earthy undertones, and subtle nuances of graphite and spice. The palate is smooth, with dried fruit flavors, leather, tobacco, earthy tones, cedar, spice, and mocha or dark chocolate.The finish leaves a pleasant aftertaste of dried fruit, cedar, and a touch of minerality.

Serving and Food pairing
This mature Bordeaux should be served at 18 celsius and will require decanting. The wine will pair wonderfully with a variety of foods due to its balanced and elegant profile. Serve with grilled steak, lamb chops, roasted game, aged cheeses such as Comté or Gruyère, and mushroom risotto.

Reviews

Decanter: Decanter magazine generally praises Chateau Talbot for its consistent quality. For the 1994 vintage, the wine was described as having a deep ruby color, with aromas of dark fruit, tobacco, and a hint of leather. The palate is well-balanced, with a medium to full body and a lingering finish.

Jancis Robinson: Jancis Robinson's review highlighted the wine's classic Saint-Julien character, with a solid core of fruit and fine tannins. The 1994 vintage was noted for its approachability in its youth, yet it also has the potential to develop further complexity with additional aging.
