Jean-Marc Quarin

(3-2002)
Color Red. Bordeaux. Moderate to good nose Net. Medium intensity. Fruity. Spicy. Pretty cool, pretty late. Taste wine in the mouth tender and quite fruity, developing on a medium body, and without the harsh tannins. The whole is pleasant enough while remaining discreet. .

Jancis Robinson

(11-2007).
Very dry tannins but sweet palate entry. Clearly ambitious and solid. This should not disappoint. Very long and very “masculine”. Lots of extract without exaggeration. Long.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(6-2004).
This may be the largest vineyard in the Medoc, with nearly 300 acres under vine. There was a period in the nineties where Talbot seemed to be a bit off form, but quality over recent vintages has displayed considerable promise. This estate is capable of producing very special wines, as anyone who has tasted their 1986 or 1982 can easily attest. The 2001, which represents only 50% of the production, is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc. A dense saturated rubypurple color is followed by notes of smoked herbs, licorice, cedar, incense, plums, and black currants. The wine is medium-bodied and moderately tannic for a 2001, with good depth as well as power.

Wine Spectator

(3-2004).
Very perfumed with blackberry and light wet earth. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, long finish. Rich and generous for the vintage. Much better than from barrel.

It is undeniable that Talbot is one of the most famous wines of the Medoc. This good reputation is probably due to a mysterious combination of several factors: the size of its vineyards, nearly one hundred acres, the regularity of its wines, for nearly a century in the same family, the name of Talbot short and punchy , easy to pronounce in all languages and is part of our history ... But what makes the popularity of first Talbot is the wonderful nature of its wine. "Talbot is for many the ideal of St. Julien, generous bouquet, very stable and safe in Aging and stress Bettane Desseauve in their Grand Guide des Vins de France. True, Talbot is a champion of life, but that did not stop even in its first youth to be nice and round, always marked by silky tannins and sweet, very civilized. Talbot, an outgoing nature, he never turned in on itself, and has the courtesy to be every day in good mood. It is a racy wine, with complex notes of liquorice and tan, delightfully classic without any restraint. . .
