1959 Talbot

1959 Château Talbot;

Pale ruby, brick rim, vanilla and red berries, cherries, leather, rather simple, lacks fruit. After about ten minutes in the glass cork shows up, what a shame.

Served blind and I wasn't even close to Bdx at first, then I thought maybe St Julien or Margaux actually, but then the cork started overshadowing the nuances. I was never on anything as old as 1959, maybe except for the colour.
