Popped a few double zeros this weekend in honor of my oldest’s bday. This one was quite nice.

2000 Château Talbot - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien (1/21/2012)
Decanted 2 hours. Rather tight aromatically, at first. With coaxing, a very serious nose of leather, spices, tobacco. Palate is surprisingly unctuous up front, a forward, dense and plummy fruit pops out. With time, the fruit mellows, and powdery, drying tannins come one. Real balance here that is a treat. Giving, but Still seemingly quite young. Really nice.
