I recently acquired a magnum of '98 Ch. Talbot, along with some other
odds-and-ends at a winecommune.com auction. I know nothing about this wine, but that 1998 was a reasonably good year, generally, for Bordeaux. Any comment on this Talbot? Drink, hold, wash my dog in it? Thanks, Bob |

Here is what the Wine Spectator said about it in 2001.
"Aromas of red fruit, meat, earth and cabbage. Medium-bodied, with light tannins and a light finish. Very short. Not as good as from barrel. Best after 2003. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 25,000 cases made. (JS)" It gave it a score of 81. > wrote in message s.com... >I recently acquired a magnum of '98 Ch.

![]() Thanks for the info. Aromas of meat and cabbage do not sound promising, unless it's St. Patrick's Day dinner. Sounds like a pour for my poker buddies.
