Talbot - 2000 (750ml) Size:750ml The 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon ReserveThis was a strong performance (better than my original notes suggested) by the 2000 Talbot. Close to full maturity, it exhibits a dense ruby plum purple color in addition to a subtle herbaceousness intermixed with smoked meats, black currants, licorice, cedar, and foresty notes. Rich and full bodied with light tannins, and a slightly richer, more savory, broader, deeper style than I remember, it should drink well for 10 15 years. Robert Parker 93
