Vinous - Score: 87 (Feb. 2018)

The 2015 Connétable de Talbot is a pretty wine to drink now and over the next few years. Succulent dark cherry, new leather, licorice, smoke and exotic spice give the Connétable much of its forward personality. There is a slightly vegetal quality to the 2015 that I am not crazy about. Otherwise, this is a solid second wine from Talbot.
