Chateau Talbot, St Julien Grand Cru Classe 2005 Sciascinoso Rich black fruit and sweetMid crimson. Slightly dull maroon hints. Straightforward fully ripe Mdoc Cabernet on the nose. Very well balanced, sappy, fresh, really succulent fruit. Dry framework no more than medium weight and beautifully judged. Very successful wine. Not exceptionally intense but a lovely medium term drink. Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson. com (17. 5)
