TN: 05 Connétable Talbot

2005 Connétable Talbot; Saint Julien
earthy farmyardy nose, with black currants, cassis, and forest floor. The palate is cooler and fresher showing hints of herbs, fresh mint and cassis to add to the nose. Nice poise, balance and restraint. Some tobacco, cedar, mushroom and earth appear with time in the glass. However this is drinking nicely but on the youthful side. The finish is clean, fresh and fairly long. Whilst this isn’t the most complex wine, it is classic, well made and enjoyable. 16.5+/20
