Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
A fabulous wine, and one of the two greatest Talbots of the last 50 years, this wine still has a very murky garnet/plum/purple color and a spectacular nose of sweet creme de cassis intermixed with freshly ground pepper, melted road tar, herbes de Provence, and beef blood. It is followed by an enormously concentrated wine of full body, layers of concentration and sweet tannin. A prodigious Talbot.

This exceptional charmer is deep ruby with a brick rim but less yellow than the Figeac. The nose is extremely opulent by any standards, but especially for this vintage. The flavour is deeply intriguing in a classical way. It's full and spreads comfortingly over the palate. Complete, concentrated and very successful for a Talbot, although the acidity became more obvious in the glass and there was a very slight hint of something metallic on the finish.

Château Château Talbot
Château Talbot

Château Talbot is one of the most iconic estates of the Saint-Julien appellation, on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. Classified as a Fourth Grand Cru Classé in 1855, the estate benefits from a strong historical reputation, associated with an accessible, consistent and deeply Médoc style. Its name, inherited from the English Constable John Talbot, a prominent figure in the Hundred Years' War, testifies to the vineyard's antiquity and its roots in Bordeaux history.

The Château Talbot vineyard now extends over approximately 110 hectares, making it one of the largest classified growths in Saint-Julien. The deep gravel soils, resting on clay-sandy subsoils, offer ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, the majority grape variety in the blend, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a touch of Petit Verdot. This parcel diversity allows for the production of balanced, precise and consistent wines.

The style of Château Talbot is distinguished by its readability, its harmonious structure and its clear aromatic expression, combining black fruits, notes of cedar, blond tobacco and sweet spices. Renowned for their relative accessibility in their youth while offering solid aging potential, the estate's wines age with elegance. Vintages such as Château Talbot 1982, Château Talbot 1996, Château Talbot 2000, Château Talbot 1986 illustrate the consistent quality and reliability of this great Saint-Julien wine.
