Connétable Talbot 2017 (Second Wine of Château Talbot)

DESCRIPTION
This is one of the best second wines of the Médoc. Connétable saw the light of day in the sixties. It has benefited over the years from all the care given to the vineyard and increasingly severe selections.

Like its predecessor Chateau Talbot, this is a classic, elegant wine with a clear, well-designed structure and a long, fresh finish.

TASTING NOTE
The 2017 Connétable de Talbot is a tasty second wine. Blood orange, brown spice, new leather and dried herbs give the 2017 an enticing, exotic profile that is quite appealing. Medium in body, with no hard edges and tons of up-front appeal, the 2017 is an attractive Saint-Julien to drink over the next few years.
