2010 Château Talbot, St Julien, Bordeaux

The 2010 Ch. Talbot is a favourite with many, and with good reason. Don't expect huge detail and complexity, but what it does provide is great focus, a depth of crunchy bright fruit which builds on the palate and serious structure. This is a very generous wine with superb length on a fresh and uplifting finish, perhaps the best since the great 1986?
