With a rich history dating back to the 15th century, Château Talbot is a well-known Fourth Growth situated in the Saint-Julien appellation, close to the Gironde Estuary. It is owned by members of the Cordier family, one of the most influential clans in Bordeaux. The property stretches over a 110-hectare single block vineyard, of which 102.5 hectares are dedicated to its Grand Vin. The 1995 vintage is a blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc. On the nose, barnyard notes, black plums with aniseed and wet leaves. The palate is marked by a meaty black fruit compote and slightly chalky tannins.
88 Robert Parker
This wine has turned out to be more impressive from bottle than it was in cask. It is a charming, intensely-scented wine with a tell-tale olive, earth, grilled beef, and black currant-scented bouquet soaring from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, with low acidity, and round, luscious, richly fruity flavors, this is a meaty, fleshy, delicious Talbot that can be drunk now. Anticipated maturity. Now-2012. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
16.5 Jancis Robinson
Very dark crimson. Vigorous impact, well balanced with a suitably dry finish. Big and bold and fruity. So much fruit that you have to dig to find the (considerable) tannin. (JR)
