March 30, 2024 - Utviklet farge med murstens kant. Behagelig, sødmefull duft av solbær, blåbær og vanilje. Veldig bærpreget smak, nesten solbærsaftaktig med god bærsødme. Middels fylde og konsentrasjon. Lettdrikkelig og god med middels lengde og godt preg av mørke søte bær i ettersmaken. Nydelig å drikke både til lammestek og på egen hånd, uten matfølge. En litt enkel, lett men velsmakende Talbot, fortjener 90 p for ren drikkeglede.

May 10, 2023 - Nez élégant mêlant fruits noirs et notes tertiaires (sous-bois). Bien équilibré avec des tanins fondus. Sans doute à son apogée, je le boirais dans les 3 ans.

December 7, 2022 - What a disappointment. The cork was leaking. Top shoulder fill. It's not oxidized and doesn't have an unpleasant feel, but not a Talbot. Baked, stewed cherry fruit. I think this wine is past its peak. Hope to find another bottle in good condition.

November 9, 2022 - Very earthy with cool blue fruit, masculine. Like in many 2008, there is just not enough fruit to support the structure.
