Score 84/100 · Drink 1984, Robert Parker, Aug 1993

Significantly less successful than its stablemate, Gruaud-Larose, the 1979 Talbot displays an herbaceous, austere, malnourished nose, lean, compact, raw flavors, and a short, compact finish. Tasters who like a tough, lean style may enjoy it more than I. Last tasted, 5/93.

Quality has not necessarily always lived up to this property’s Fourth Growth status, however there have been significant improvements in recent years, with a sustainable focus in the vineyard, and new winery and cellar.
