Talbot - 2000 (750ml) Loire The 2011 Taylor’s Vintage 2011

The 2011 Taylor’s Vintage 2011 has a multifaceted

this is a superstar of the vintage

and a distinctive personality that is elegant while at the same time powerful and substantial

It appears to have hit full maturity

The 1989 Mouton-Rothschild is the superior wine

Talbot - 2000 (750ml) Loire The 2011 Taylor’s Vintage 2011This 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
