JAMES SUCKLING: "A medium- to full-bodied red with very fine tannins. It’s firm and structured, showing a bright, dark-fruited character. Focused, with a good center-palate and a lingering finish. Really polished."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Offering up aromas of dark berries, baking chocolate, plums, espresso roast and crushed mint, the 2023 Talbot is medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy, with a rich but lively core of fruit, powdery tannins and a long, penetrating finish. Harvested over the course of fully four weeks, it's a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot that attained 13% alcohol."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine Kräuterwürze, schwarze Waldbeeren, dunkle Kirschen, zart rauchig, Nugat ist unterlegt. Komplex, saftig, elegant, reife Tannine, dunkle Kirschen im Abgang, bleibt haften, ein feinwürziger Speisenbegleiter."
