Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate January - 2003
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Dark plumgarnetruby, with more color saturation than the 1989 or 1990, this wine has notes of new saddle leather intermixed with smoked beef, tapenade, vanilla, and an almost chocolatey mocha character. Some moderate tannins still need to be integrated, but this medium-bodied wine has excellent grip, depth, and overall character. As it has aged, it seems to have developed more personality, depth, and style than the more highly renowned 1989.

Amber, ruby color, with aromas of tobacco and prune that follow through to a medium body, with light coffee and berry flavors. Medium finish. Little thin now.

Château Talbot

At Château Talbot, wine is conjugated in the past and future. Respect for traditions and technological evolution coexist in perfect harmony. From the alliance of techniques, terroir, and the passionate people who cultivate it, wines of character, harmonious and complex, are born. In twenty years, it has managed to rank among the most sought-after wines of the Bordeaux region. It is undeniable that Talbot is one of the most famous growths of the Médoc. This great reputation is undoubtedly due to a mysterious combination of several factors: the size of its vineyard, nearly one hundred hectares, the consistency of its wine, in the same family for nearly a century, the name Talbot - short and striking, easy to pronounce in all languages and part of our history... But what primarily makes Talbot popular is the marvelous nature of its wine. "Talbot embodies for many the ideal of Saint-Julien, generously bouqueted, very stable and reliable in aging," emphasize Bettane and Desseauve in their Grand Guide des Vins de France. Indeed, Talbot is a champion of longevity, which does not prevent it, even in its earliest youth, from being friendly and round, always marked by silky and smooth tannins, very civilized. Talbot has an extroverted nature, it is never withdrawn, and has the courtesy of being in a good mood every day. It is a refined wine, with its complex notes of havana and licorice, deliciously classic without ever the slightest austerity.
