    "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 ruby/purple 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." Robert Parker erobertparker.com

    soft, scents of mulberry plus a little more cold black tea this time. The palate is medium-bodied, well balanced with lots of cedar-infused black fruits. It actually reaches its peak some six hours after opening! Not a long-term Saint Julien but to reiterate, a nice “classic” style of wine. Tasted July 2008. - Neil Martin Wine Journal

    There is a lot of classic charm here, with its tobacco, black raspberry, cedar and earthy character. The tannins are soft, but present, letting you know this is nice now, and will be better with a bit more time in the bottle. 90 Points, Jeff Leve

    Deep, dark ruby-red color is not quite opaque. Aromas are quite traditional with cassis fruit overlaid by tobacco leaf, coffee grounds & cedar notes - the oak aromas are powerful. On the palate the dark fruit & tobacco notes are lifted by good acidity. Alcohol is balanced & the fresh fruit lasts well on the finish. This is a nice classic wine. 11/05 DCAMW

    There is a great link here between the tannins, delicious red berry fruits and blackcurrants and the almost architectural structure. The wine certainly has fine fruit, a great balance, very complete, finishing gently, ripe and soft. 94/100 Wine Enthusiast.
