Note di degustazione
Tasted blind. Mid garnet. Black fruit and some tea-leaf aroma. Chewy, chalky but appetising and well balanced. Fine texture and good length. Not popular with the other tasters. (JH)

The 2013 Talbot is missing some fruit concentration on the nose and consequently it seems a little dusty and dour. The palate is better: medium-bodied and providing more pleasure than the aromatics with red and black fruit, cedar and cigar box notes and quite driving acidity towards the finish that imparts freshness on the finish. If those aromatics can take flight in bottle, then this will deserve a higher score. It is a lightweight at the moment although Talbot does have a tendency to gain weight with age.
Lightish ruby with a pale rim. Savoury, dark-fruited aroma. Cassis and cedar on the palate, the texture chalky but smooth. Moreish and fresh on the finish. The tannins are more dense than in some St-Juliens tasted alongside – but not obdurate. (JH)
Informazioni sul produttore
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.
