Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate January - 2003
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 Talbot

Château Talbot is among the most recognized estates in Saint-Julien, on Bordeaux's Left Bank. Ranked as a Fourth Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification, it owes its name to the English Constable John Talbot, who died at the Battle of Castillon in 1453. Owned by the Cordier family since 1918, the estate cultivates 110 hectares of single-block gravel terroir dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, crafting an upright, consistent wine with great aging potential.

Great vintages punctuate its history, from the legendary 1945 to the 1982 wine, a benchmark for the estate, through to the 1986 vintage and the more recent 2009. The estate also produces the second wine Connétable Talbot and the rare Caillou White, one of the first white wines replanted in the Médoc.
