Château Talbot 2020 – Saint-Julien, Grand Cru Classé 

On the nose it is fruity with elegance and it offers a good definition, depth, richness (while subtle/rich), with power (delicacy), a certain complex grain. Notes of bright blackberry, violet, bright strawberry and more lightly ripe small red fruits, blueberry combined with hints of pulpy berry, nutmeg, discreet hints of szechuan pepper and a subtle hint of licorice and bourbon vanilla. On the mouth it is fruity and offers freshness, minerality, tension, richness (in control/air), acidity, juiciness, a good definition as well as a certain gourmandize, fine grain, harmony, elegance and dynamism. The wine express the notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, bright blackcurrant and more slightly juicy/fresh cherry, small red fruits as well as hints of tonka bean, toasted almond, saffron and chocolate. The tannins are fine, precise, elegant and supple. A nice persistence with a subtle touch of tonka bean. The sapidity and a little mellow on the finish/persistence.
