Deep smoky blackcurrant fruit, robust with a fine firm finish, still a bit raw. Drink 2014-18. (15.5 points). Steven Spurrier, decanter.com

This sleek red shows nice intensity to its damson plum, black cherry, toasted vanilla and tobacco flavors, with a bright, floral-tinged finish. —J.M.James Molesworth, winespectator.com

A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, this has a crisp blackberry, slightly tarry bouquet that takes a minute or two to open. The palate is dominated by the cedar and tobacco-tinged Cabernet rending this a rather austere, conservative Connetable Talbot, but with good weight and length. Classic in style. Drink 2012-2018. Tasted March 2011. Neal Martin erobertparker.com

Quality has not necessarily always lived up to this property’s Fourth Growth status, however there have been significant improvements in recent years, with a sustainable focus in the vineyard, and new winery and cellar.
