John Talbot, we love ye. You may have lost the Battle of Castillon (July 17, 1453), but the regionally defined wine is great - especially in 2010. This wine has cedar (and I know about cedar), chocolate and cherry on the nose - with a hint of vanilla spice (oak treatment). The entry is spicy with blackberry, chocolate and a hint of tannin.

The nose is musty but then herbaceous to be provocative, the front is a little flat but it then opens to tobacco, juniperberry, aniseed and blackberry notes with a mild coffee finish, although ...
