Château Talbot 2021

Wineadvocate

The 2021 Talbot is promising, exhibiting aromas of wild berries, cherries, cigar wrapper and sweet spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety palate that's bright and seamless, with an enveloping, charming profile despite analytically rather high levels of polyphenols. This is a fine effort that reminds Jean-Michel Laporte of the 2001 vintage in style—though the 2021 will benefit from all the improvements that the last two decades have witnessed at this address. Tasted four times. - WK 04/2022

Vinous

The 2021 Talbot is an absolutely gorgeous wine. Aromatic, layered and impeccably balanced, Talbot is simply exquisite in 2021. Sweet pipe tobacco, incense, dried flowers, mint, licorice and blue-toned fruits are some of the notes that grace this super-refined Saint-Julien. All the elements are so well balanced. The floral, effusive finish is so inviting. - AG 12/2023

Beck

Marqué par des notes de fruits à chair blanche, respectivement des notes de poires et de pommes complétées par une touche florale, Talbot 2022 invite à se servir un verre de vin blanc ! De caractère friand en bouche, le vin est invitant, harmonieux et confirme les ambitions du bouquet : on se sert volontiers un verre et même deux ! 2027 - YB 02/2024

Suckling

A fruity and attractive 2021 with currant and berry aromas and flavors. Hints of citrus. Medium body. Fresh finish. - JS 05/2022
