Saint-Julien, Chateau Talbot-4th Growth 2000: This wine is sexy, seductive, and undeniably difficult to resist, even at such a young age. The deep ruby/purple color is followed by a wine with low acidity, sweet tannin, and copious quantities of blackberry and currant fruit intermixed with new oak and spice. Initially superficial, it seemed to grow in the glass. While not a blockbuster, it is velvety-textured, succulent, and delicious. Alc 13% Grapes: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon
