The Château Talbot 2000 from the Saint-Julien appellation is a powerful and balanced wine from a legendary Bordeaux vintage. 2000 was a year that offered exceptional climatic conditions and produced wines of great depth and structure.

In the glass, the Château Talbot 2000 presents a deep, rich ruby ​​red that still appears vibrant and youthful. The bouquet immediately unfolds intense aromas of blackcurrants, ripe plums, and a hint of blackberry. These are complemented by complex, spicy notes of cedarwood, tobacco, and leather. Over time, more subtle aromas of graphite, black tea, and a light earthy minerality develop, making the wine characteristic of the region.

On the palate, the wine impresses with its excellent structure and balance. The ripe tannins are dense yet supple, lending the wine an elegant texture and making it feel powerful without being heavy. The fruit remains prominent, supported by a fine acidity that lends the wine freshness and vibrancy. Subtle toasted notes and a subtle integration of oak round out the overall picture without overpowering the fruit.

The finish is long and complex, offering a harmonious lingering aroma of dark fruits, spices, and fine oak. Château Talbot 2000 already shows impressive maturity, but still has the potential to develop further over the coming years. Ideal with braised lamb, game, or aged cheeses.
