Ratings By Robert Parker78 Tasting Notes Tasted three separate times from bottle, the 2002 Talbot has proved to be a major disappointment and far below what I had predicted from cask tastings ?V shame on me.

It is a sexy, round, silky-textured wine that seems something of an… Read More »

Dense ruby/purple in color, with creme de cassis, charcoal, and sweet leathery and chocolatey notes intermixed with the classic Pauillac cedar and spice box,… Read More »
