One of the best Talbots over recent years, and possibly the best since the 1986 and 1982, this sexy juggernaut of a wine struts forth with an opaque plum/ruby/purple color and terrific notes of creme de cassis, licorice, roasted herbs and smoky barbecue. It is a brilliant effort, with full body, wonderful fruit, a savory, expansive mouthfeel, sensational texture and a long finish, but no hardness or astringency. This is a fabulous Talbot to drink over the next 20-25 years.
Score: 94 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (205), March 2013

Abundant amounts of sweet, up-front fruit give this wine a precocious appeal compared to many of its brethren. It exhibits a dense plum/ruby/purple hue along with sweet boysenberry, black currant, cherry, smoke and licorice aromas and flavors. This deep, medium to full-bodied, classic Talbot should be approachable when released, and age effortlessly for 15 or more years.
Score: 91-93 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (194), May 2011

Tasted at the Union de Grand Cru in London. The Talbot 2010 offers dusky black fruit on the nose: cedar and graphite aromas, a touch of mulch and woodland. It needs more vigour and delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a soft, broody entry. There are hints of mulberry and Asian spice, but I am seeking more backbone and penetration towards the finish. Still, this is a very fine Talbot, yet regrettably, since this is an estate I adore, it continues to lag behind its peers. Tasted November 2012.

Tasted at the chateau and at the UGC, the Talbot was picked from 29th September with the young vines and around the 4th October for the older. This is the second vintage under Stephane Derenancourt. A blend 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2010 has a refined bouquet that for me, has better harmony and focus than the 2009 at this stage last year, a purity that perhaps has been missing from the estate in recent vintages. The palate is impressive: the Cabernet Sauvignon very pure and focused, a newfound sense of mineralité and elegance and precision towards the finish. One of the best Talbot produced in recent years...but there is still room to improve. Drink 2014- Tasted April 2011.

This super focused and firm, with a bright and intense fruit. Full and super silky, with a long, long finish. Super straight and beautiful. This is better in 2010
Score: 92-93 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, March 2011

Dark crimson. Delightful, rather floral fragrance. Medium weight. Polished and fine. A really very winning wine with great balance even if it is not the most intense 2010. For relatively early drinking.

A very well known Chateau throughout the world. En Primeur prices are usually reasonable and the popularity of the name ensures strong demand and increased prices when it is ready to drink. Not normally a wine to win blind tastings as it is relatively early-maturing, but always popular. Made from 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot in 50% new oak. This has the darkest colour that we have seen at Talbot for many years. The palate is distinctly more concentrated than usual with crushed blackberry fruit complemented by vanilla oakiness. Good balance and certainly more stuffing to it than most recent vintages here.
Score: 15.5+ Farr Vintners, April 2011

Rich ripe black cherry and cassis are very much in evidence on the nose but the tannins are firm holding back the fruit on the mid and back palate. There is some complexity but it feels as though a bit of richness and depth.
Score: 89-92 Derek Smedley MW, April 2011

Rich, very ripe cassis Cabernet fruit, smooth, even succulent flavours, quite an open style in this vintage. Drink 2016-26.

Ciekawa różnica w poglądach w temacie kiedy pić. Jancis Robinson pisze, że do picia nada się stosunkowo wcześnie, a Robert Parker daje mu nawet 20-25 lat!
