Tasting Notes
A touch funky/oaky. A huge fruity mouthfull but shows very fresh and elegant character and with lovely fresh fruit. Good quality here this year.

Chateau Talbot is now advised by Stephane Derenancourt (since 2010) and the deep ruby 2010 edition has aromas of cedar, plums and blackberries, supported by good precision and balance of soft fruit flavours and supple and delicate tannins. This is a very elegant and well-made Talbot that is not a typical 2010 St Julien. asianpalate.com
Talbot Using 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, the wine offers cassis, earth and tobacco scents. Medium/full bodied, the cassis filled finish shows a hint of green flavors in the end. winecellarinsider.com
This super focused and firm, with a bright and intense fruit. Full and super silky, with a long, long finish. Super straight and beautiful. This is better in 2010. jamessuckling.com
About the producer
Quality has not necessarily always lived up to this propertyโs Fourth Growth status, however there have been significant improvements in recent years, with a sustainable focus in the vineyard, and new winery and cellar.
