17 Rene Gabriel
Sattes Granat mit lila Reflexen. Reifes Bouquet, nebst blauen Beeren zeigen sich auch feine Honig- und Rosinentöne, helles Leder, somit eine schöne Süsse aufweisend. Im Gaumen recht fein, wirkt hier in der Fruchtpräsentation geradliniger, im Innern kapselige Noten und eine feine Bitterkeit, hält leider im Gaumen nicht, was er in der Nase verspricht. Zumindest momentan. Wenn er ales richtig verdaut, erreicht er maximal: warten (2015 - 2028)

This displays blackberry, sweet tobacco and green coffee aromas. Full-bodied, with soft tannins and a caressing texture. This has a really lovely mouthfeel for the vintage. Best after 2014. 35,750 cases made. ?JS

This fruity, soft, somewhat commercial, mid-weight St.-Julien offers sweet black cherry and currant fruit intermixed with subtle herb, spice box, and smoke characteristics. While not particularly concentrated, it is a round, aromatic, soft, sensual 2006 to enjoy over the next 10-13 years.

Château Talbot
This outstanding Left Bank estate owes its name to Connétable Talbot, the English general and governor of the province of Guyenne who was defeated at the famous Battle of Castillon in 1453. His downfall ended over 340 years of British control in the Bordeaux region. Today, Château Talbot owns 107-hectares of vineyards cultivated in the heart of the Saint-Julien commune. Initially a Cordier négociant group, Talbot has been maintained by the family members to this date, with Nancy Bignon Cordier and her husband Jean-Paul Bignon currently safeguarding Talbot’s deep-seated high-quality standards. With some of the finest terroir in Médoc, the château receives valuable guidance from the skilled enologist Jacques Boissenot and consulting vintner, Stéphane Derenoncourt. The resulting wines are praised internationally for their open character and well-rounded tannins, which makes the wines both approachable and age-worthy. In the spirit of tradition with a modern twist, the second wine Connétable de Talbot is rich with notes of cedar wood and vanilla like its older sibling, the layered Grand Vin, Talbot.
