Sans Other Reviews….The 2016 Talbot has a conservative bouquet with slightly leafy black fruit, a subtle earthiness that percolates through with time. At first, the aromatics seem standoffish, but you gradually warm to its charms. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp and tensile tannin. There is an edginess to this Talbot, and it does not quite possess the harmony and charm of other Saint Julien 2016s. But, there is personality here-a bit curmudgeonly and yet you keep going back to take another sip. One to watch.90-92 pointsNeal Martin eRobertParker.com #230 (Apr 2017)
