Note di degustazione
The 1975 Talbot is served from magnum that was reconditioned in 2012. Harvest took place from 22 September to 6 October with a reported 12-13° alcohol for the Merlot and 11.5-12° alcohol for the Cabernet Sauvignon. Quite deep in colour, it has a slightly meaty bouquet with leathery red fruit, touches of sage and dusty attic. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. It just lacks complexity on the mid-palate, masculine and a little dry like so many 1975s are at this age, dictates by the tannins when more flesh would have rendered a better wine. Provenance plays its part here, though I would still advise bottles from sound cellars to be drunk soon. Tasted at the centenary Château Talbot vertical at the property.

This was a better showing than normal for this medium-bodied, hard, lean, austere Talbot. The wine revealed more fruit than in the past, an earthy, herbal, chocolatey, weedy-scented nose, good extraction, and the vintage's harshness and toughness in the finish. Although it will keep for another 10-15+ years, there is no reason to hold on to it that long.

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.
