Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker’s rating: 90 points)
The 2020 Talbot exhibits aromas of cassis and plums mingled with hints of clove, violets and toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, with a rich core of fruit, powdery tannins and lively acids…

(James Suckling’s rating: 94 points)
Focused and composed with notes of currants, truffles, dried leaves, dark chocolate and graphite. Its full-bodied, with firm, fine tannins giving sturdy support throughout. Savory and austere at the moment. Needs some time to open up. Try after 2026.
