Critic Reviews
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate (March 2013)
This sexy juggernaut of a wine struts forth with an opaque plum/ruby/purple color and terrific notes of creme de cassis, licorice, roasted herbs and smoky barbecue. It is a brilliant effort, with full body, wonderful fruit, a savory, expansive mouthfeel, sensational texture and a long finish, but no hardness or astringency.
James Suckling - JamesSuckling.com (March 2011)
This super focused and firm, with a bright and intense fruit. Full and super silky, with a long, long finish. Super straight and beautiful.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Wine Advocate (March 2020)
Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Talbot opens with maturing scents of fruitcake, Chinese five spice and cigar box plus hints of dried mint, pencil lead and chargrill. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is pleasantly spicy, with a light grip of chewy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing savory.
