Talbot, St. Julien 1986

Deep red center, slight rust rim.

Mellow, great, integrated nose - menthol, grilled meat/pepper steak, black currant and other "stuff"..

Round suave and mouth-filling - at its peak. Still has excellent mid-palate flesh and flavor. Beautiful, complex wine. This certainly demonstrates why cellaring pays dividends with wines worthy of it. Just like friends or lovers ;)
