Omschrijving
Een grote naam in vooral Engeland vanwege de connectie met John Talbot, graaf van Shrewsbury. Toen deze sneuvelde in 1453 tijdens een conflict kwam Talbot “terug” in Frans bezit na 340 jaar aan de Britse kroon te hebben toebehoord. Al 100 jaar is Talbot eigendom van de familie Cordier en met 109 ha wijngaard één van de grootste bezittingen in de Médoc. Talbot krijgt een barrique lagering van 12-14 maanden waarvan 50% nieuw hout. Het wijngoed heeft de status van 4e Grand Cru Classé.

Robert Parker The 2020 Talbot exhibits aromas of cassis and plums mingled with hints of clove, violets and toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, with a rich core of fruit, powdery tannins and lively acids, it's quite strongly marked by its élevage out of the gates, and it's an open question for me as to whether there's enough depth here to integrate the barrel program and reassert its Saint-Julien identity. On each of the three occasions I tasted it, it left me wanting more.

Vinous The 2020 Talbot is every bit as impressive as it was from barrel. Strong Cabernet Sauvignon inflections open first in the bouquet, leading into a rich palate laced with expressive dark cherry and plum fruit. A Saint-Julien of power and stature, Talbot is fabulous in 2020. I love the breadth and overall intensity here, but there is just as much focus to keep things in balance. The 2020 is superb, certainly the best in recent memory.

James Suckling A tight, focused young red with blackcurrant, lead-pencil and chocolate character. It’s full-bodied and tense with a long, flavorful finish.

Decanter This is a great Talbot, a real success for the château. Subtle and deft touches throughout, from the smoked turmeric notes that lace the black fruits to the finessed aromatics that accompany the body of the wine. Balance and freshness, and a saline edge to the finish that is extremely moreish. Three years with Jean-Michel Laporte as director and he is doing great work.
