James Suckling: This is juicy and incisive, with expressive dark fruit and fine-grained, almost grainy tannins. A savory quality in the long finish. Persistent and cohesive."

Falstaff: Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart ätherische Nuancen, ein Hauch von Minze und Cassis, etwas Feigen und Verveine, facettenreiches Bukett. Komplex, stoffig, wirkt kraftvoll und energisch, reife Tannine, gute Länge, sicheres Reifepotenzial, mineralischer Nachhall."

Vinum: Anfangs verhalten, öffnet sich mit Luft, Rauch, Zedernholz, dunkler Frucht; am Gaumen von verführerischer Zugänglichkeit, man möchte gleich schlucken, satte Frucht, feines, sehr präsentes Tannin, kräuterwürziges, herbes Finish auf Blutorangen sowie rotfruchtige Rückaromen. Ein charmanter Talbot, der mit Finesse und Balance überzeugt."

The Wine Cellar Insider: Flowers, smoke, cigar box, black with red currants, and an array of spices fill the perfume. The palate delivers its message of ripe, soft, round, creamy-textured fruits with ease, finishing with its refined, elegant dark berries, and a touch of chalk. Drink from 2030-2055."

Jeb Dunnuck: Ruby-hued, the 2025 Château Talbot is a beautiful Saint-Julien based on 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 9% Petit Verdot that's being raised 16 months in 60% new French oak. Its pretty nose of spicy red and black fruits, dried flowers, and graphite is followed by a medium-bodied Talbot with soft tannins, wonderful balance, and a great finish. I love its overall balance, and it's an impeccably made, elegant effort that has tons to love."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Talbot zips out with ready-to-go notes of wild blueberries and red cherries, giving way to touches of bay leaves, graphite, and tapenade. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers a firm structure of grainy tannins and lively acidity to match the muscular blue and red fruit, finishing savory."
