Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
(Ed 1998) Full bodied, with a deep, almost opaque rubypurple color, a forward, cassis-scented aroma, and rich, lush flavors, the 1983 Talbot is a large-scaled wine that is drinking surprisingly well. It is one of the great successes of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: Now-2008. Last tasted, 389.

Wine Spectator
Sexy, almost decadent, featuring rich tobacco, chocolate, and wet earth aromas and flavors. Full-bodied and very silky with a long rich 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.
