Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate June - 2009
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Along with the 1986, the 1982 is one of the greatest Talbots ever made. Far more evolved than its stablemate, Gruaud Larose, it exhibits a dense garnet color to the rim along with a huge, sweet, exotic nose of charcoal, beef blood, licorice, herbs, and black fruits. A hint of figs suggests borderline overripeness, but the wine remains fleshy and full-bodied with sweet tannin and an expansive, heady mouthfeel. While fully mature, it should hold for another decade. Release price

Christer Byklum: Bright ruby, thin brick rim. In neck fill, 0.5 cm below cork. Dates, figs, some cedar, tobacco, detailed and nuanced, lovely maturity, lighter but very elegant nose, refined, fine leather, cigars and cigar box. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, blackberries, anise, detailed, fruit driven, some spices, juicy, leaner bodied, sweet dates and figs, tobacco, lighter bodied, very refined, easy to overlook, long finish. From my father's cellar, bought upon release and never moved. Lovely and classic and utterly charming.

Fully mature, with a nose of tobacco, cigar box, cassis, figs and a hint of jam. The wine is full bodied, concentrated and feels great through the earthy, cassis and cigar wrapper finish.

The dirty nose of the start has given way to the very essence of old Bordeaux, a smoky vegetal rigour (pepper, oak moss, noble wood, tobacco) typical of Pessac, blackberry, spices, damp autumnal undergrowth. Great finesse of matter, fine grain and salinity due to age, here is a St Julien that has emerged from its austerity while dispersing its stigmata to our good memory. 42 years old and in great shape!

This wine was served alongside the Gruaud from the same stable and it really was quite difficult to pick a favourite. There were strong similarities of style: glossy, fruity, friendly, open, something almost Napa-esque about them. Sweet nose and real dancing life. The merest hint of molasses and something very slightly vegetal on the nose – not at all underripe though. Thick and rich, long, a hint of marine notes. Positively oozes charm. I defy anyone not to like this.

Château Talbot

Château Talbot is among the most renowned classified growths of Saint-Julien, on Bordeaux’s left bank. Promoted to Fourth Growth in the 1855 classification, it takes its name from the English constable John Talbot, who fell at the Battle of Castillon in 1453. Owned by the Cordier family since 1918, the estate cultivates 110 hectares of contiguous gravel soils, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, producing a straightforward, consistent wine with excellent ageing potential.

Great vintages have punctuated its history, from the legendary 1945 to the 1982 wine, a benchmark for the estate, through to the 1986 vintage and the more recent 2009. The estate also produces the second wine Connétable Talbot and the rare Caillou White, one of the first white wines to be replanted in the Médoc.
