Château Talbot, 4ème Grand Cru Classé
De reputatie van Talbot is er één van constante kwaliteit en het meest betrouwbaar van alle Chateaux uit Saint-Julien. In goede jaren is Talbot rijk en aromatisch van smaak met een bouquet van cederhout en vanille vermengd met cassis en schitterend geïntegreerde tannines. Talbot 2022 is een echte cabernet-gedomineerde charmeur. Indrukwekkend.

Wijnhuis "Château Talbot"
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.

The 2022 Talbot is especially impressive, and if it fulfills all its promise, it is likely to emerge as this large Saint-Julien property's most exciting wine since the 1980s. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of cherries, blackberries and cassis mingled with hints of violets and pencil lead, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, with a layered core of fruit, rich structuring tannins and a long, lively finish. It's a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot that's being matured in 60% new oak.

The 2022 Talbot was bottled in May. Estate Director Jean-Michel Laporte commented that he sees it as a combination of 2018, 2019 and 2020, though better than those vintages. The 2022 has a tightly knit bouquet, crisp and clean, a little "cooler" in style than I recall and I mean that in a positive way. It neatly shrugs off the warmth of that growing season. There's wonderful purity of fruit here, tinged with tobacco and light chimney soot scents. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit—a quintessential Talbot, with a little more horsepower than recent vintages but fine precision and structure on the finish. I appreciate the finesse of the tannins and the weight throughout this Saint-Julien.

The aromas of blackcurrants and dried flowers with fresh herbs like basil and rosemary are extremely attractive. Medium- to full-bodied, this has firm and velvety tannins with a tension and focus that I have not seen for a while. Long and chewy finish. Solid. Drink after 2028 and beyond.

Glossy and shiny, with lots of energy to the clean red berry fruit and slightly mineral-edged tannins. Easy to enjoy, this is smooth and round. More direct than overly plush or wide, but with great persistence to a long finish. The purity of the fruit and acidity give this strong appeal even at this early stage.
