Confirmation of my previous ratings : 92 Pleasant wine. Roundness would be the overall most suitable definition: the nose is discreet as would be a basket of rose petals; on the palate, tannins are supple and there is a goodequilibrium between freshness, red fruit jam and tertiary flavours of tobacco/cedar Short finish To drink now and perhaps till 2026

Bottle directly from the cellar of Talbot. What a delicious and fully mature Talbot. Very open and perfumed nose of black fruit, cedar, and hints of earth. On the palate the wine had very dusty and integrated tannins and still with great acidity. Drink now and then next 5-8 years.

The nose is wonderful - fresh raspberry and roses. In the mouth there is an agreeable freshness too, with crisp blackcurrant and raspberry flavours, but it has a very short finish and it lacks persistence mid-palate. Not a bad wine by any means, but not one of the better 06s, nor a great example of Talbot. At the current auction prices, I'd avoid it.

Delicious. Smooth from start to finish. Feels like it is still a young wine and will evolve nicely from here.

Monthly Tuesday group "The Dead Sparrow": Pauillac and St. Julien (By me @ the factory): Beautiful bouquet with dark berries, laurel, truffle, cigar box and some stable smells. On the palate juicy dark berries, cocoa, laurel, coffee, good acidity and soft, round tannin. Fully mature and delicious now.
