A benchmark Saint-Julien estate renowned for consistency and elegance, Château Talbot reveals aromas of cassis, blackberry, black cherry, cedar, graphite, violet, and cigar box. Full-bodied yet impeccably balanced, it delivers polished tannins, vibrant freshness, exceptional depth, and a long, refined finish with outstanding aging potential.
Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, grilled ribeye, roast lamb, duck confit, venison, truffle potatoes, aged Comté, or braised short ribs.
Decanter
Spicy, structured and dense, this is a complex, smoky and powerful wine. With polished fruit and structure, it comes from an increasingly impressive estate.
Wine Spectator
Exuberant, with generous plum sauce, licorice root, blackberry compote and apple wood notes vying for attention, as graphite and cast iron accents drive along underneath. Reveals a little flash of exotic toast that snazzes up the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2030.
Jeb Dunnuck
Another gorgeous 2020, the 2020 Château Talbot has an almost Pauillac-like sense of graphite and lead pencil as well as ripe blackcurrant fruit, medium to full body, and abundant notes of smoked tobacco, leather, and dried herbs. It shows the more focused, almost austere, yet still ripe style of the vintage and has terrific mid-palate depth, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. There's an almost old school Bordeaux-like vibe in this beauty, but it's not rustic in any way, the balance is spot on, and it has loads of character. I'd be thrilled with bottles in the cellar.
James Suckling
Focused and composed with notes of currants, truffles, dried leaves, dark chocolate and graphite. It’s full-bodied, with firm, fine tannins giving sturdy support throughout. Savory and austere at the moment. Needs some time to open up.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Talbot storms out of the glass with powerful blackcurrants, raspberry leaves and baked plums scents, followed by suggestions of dried Mediterranean herbs, tobacco leaf and graphite. The medium-bodied palate delivers lovely freshness and an approachable chewiness, nicely framing the herb-laced black fruits, finishing savory. Barrel Sample: 90-92
