Just beautiful, with super soft tannins. Classic Bordeaux scents and flavors.

Lots of blackberry, licorice and light tar aromas. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long finish. This needs time.

Very nice sour, savoury nose with cedary oak and decent fruit quality. Very claret-like. Juicy, sour plum and cherry fruit on palate. Quite modest, with a nice balance of oak, tannins and acidity.

Fully developed, and in its sweet spot, the wine is medium bodied and easily offers up its smoky, earthy, herbal, slightly rustic, red berry character.

Mid crimson with a ruby rim. Marked evolution on the nose in low intensity. Mellow start and great lift and sweetness. A slight hint of rusty nails but overall a very nice glass of wine.

This is an “old-style” Talbot, with a wild side, lots of substance, but a certain rigidity in the tannins.

Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux
Delicious, yet more proof of how this corner of Bordeaux excelled in 1996, and the drinking window is still going strong. Grilled earth, tobacco leaf, crushed mint, dried roses, liqourice, brambled autumnal fruit, fine tannins with a trace of dryness, but full of pleasure. Christian Hostein cellar master, 50% new oak for ageing.

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.
