Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 1982 Talbot, St-Julien (96VN, 94CK, 94RP, 93JG). Vinous: "The 1982 Talbot might be one of the most underestimated wines of the Left Bank. This bottle was my own contribution and it outflanked some of the more expensive, better reputed Saint-Julien wines. Captivating on the nose, classical through and through, this is fresh and vibrant, a bit leaner than the Ducru-Beaucaillou though with more cohesion and refinement. The palate unfolds in exquisite fashion, with finely chiselled tannins, supremely well balanced with a hint of graphite and pain d'épices towards the languid finish. Irresistible. This might actually be the best bottle that I have ever drunk. (NM)" (12/2025)

This feels precise and linear on the nose with nicely defined currant and tobacco aromatics, laced with menthol. The palate is immediately charming and supple, yet it also feels fresh and complete. There is great density and presence through the middle and into the end of the palate, yet it maintains a fresh and precisely defined character throughout. This doesn’t seem to be able to put a foot wrong today – a really impressive showing for Talbot at this age, with such delicious and persistent confidence. Well done. Drink and enjoy, or hold with confidence as this will drink well for many years yet.
