This lot comprises three bottles of 1986 Château Talbot from the Saint-Julien appellation in Bordeaux.

Saint-Julien is an appellation in Médoc by the Gironde estuary, adjacent to Pauillac. The predominant grape variety here is Cabernet Sauvignon and the wines are powerful, complex and long-lived. The wines from the northern part of the appellation are comparable to those from Pauillac, while in the south the wines tend to be more elegant like those from Margaux. In the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855 there are no premier cru wine estates in Saint-Julien, although the best grand crus of the region, including Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, would most likely be rated even higher today.

1986 was a very good vintage in Bordeaux with tannin-rich wines that develop wonderfully over many years. This wine has reached the peak of its maturity and will be a delight to drink now.

The fill levels are excellent (base of neck). The label is slightly soiled; the capsule is in perfect condition.
