Chateau Talbot, Saint-Julien, France 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges Clos des Forets Saint-Georges Once labeled Monastrell José MariaThis is a great Talbot, a real success for the chteau. Subtle and deft touches throughout, from the smoked turmeric notes that lace the black fruits to the finessed aromatics that accompany the body of the wine. Balance and freshness, and a saline edge to the finish that is extremely moreish. Three years with Jean Michel Laporte as director and he is doing great work. 95 Pts Decanter
