March 16, 2024 - 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Event (Minneapolis, MN): So I told everyone decant their wines prior and this guest did not. This wine was tight but able to revisit this wine 3 hours later and it was so much better. Tobacco, cherry, earth, leather and minerals. Medium plus finish. A solid effort for sure.

February 16, 2024 - Splash decanted and enjoyed on its own. Quite a fresh nose of cassis and blueberry, much the same in the mouth, with savoury notes of olives and herbs midpalate. Nice to see they have toned down the oak. I'd like to try this again in four or five years time before asserting that it's a great wine, but it's certainly a good example of Talbot. My only reserve for now would be the 13.5% - which tastes like more.

November 18, 2023 - Nose: Cassis, wet cedar, some forest floor. Palate: Dark cherry, red currants, cedar spice; somewhat light-bodied mid-palate; black licorice, sinewy tannins that eventually spread evenly over the palate and leave a nice weight with plum and a touch of oak grain. On day two, everything just got better and more integrated with added complexity.

October 25, 2023 - Blueberry, with hints of leather, cigar box, and gravel; elegant and very long; a little flat but engaging and pleasing nevertheless
