17 Rene Gabriel
Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Kühles Bouquet, Pflaumenhaut, Nelkenköpfe, Tabakblatt, Zedern und schwarze Pfefferkörner, mittlerer Druck. Sehr elegant und fein (leicht?) im Gaumen, damit jetzt schon harmonisch mit schöner Länge, wirkt irgendwie mild und gebremst wirkend, trotzdem sehr gut gelungen. (17/20). 12: Mittleres Granat mit bläulichem Schimmer. Das Bouquet ist eigenwillig und fast etwas erklärungsbedürftig, da sind einerseits Heidelbeeren, Spitzwegerich, aber auch blättrige Noten drin, ein Hauch Geraniol und Joschtastauden. Im Gaumen macht er recht Vieles wieder wett, zeigt Lakritze, schwarze Pfefferkörner und Brazil-Tabak im Finale, leider eine feine Bitterkeit im Nachklang. Besser als frühere Jahrgänge, aber immer noch nicht auf dem zu erwartenden Talbot-Niveau.<br/><br/>warten (2018 - 2032)<br/>
91 Robert Parker
Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Talbot opens with maturing scents of fruitcake, Chinese five spice and cigar box plus hints of dried mint, pencil lead and chargrill. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is pleasantly spicy, with a light grip of chewy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing savory.
91 Wine Spectator
This features a fairly plump core of crushed plum, blackberry and mulled boysenberry notes, coated with tar and driven by a strong graphite accent. An echo of pastis lingers on the finish, displaying good latent grip. Best from 2015 through 2027. –JM

Château Talbot
This outstanding Left Bank estate owes its name to Connétable Talbot, the English general and governor of the province of Guyenne who was defeated at the famous Battle of Castillon in 1453. His downfall ended over 340 years of British control in the Bordeaux region. Today, Château Talbot owns 107-hectares of vineyards cultivated in the heart of the Saint-Julien commune. Initially a Cordier négociant group, Talbot has been maintained by the family members to this date, with Nancy Bignon Cordier and her husband Jean-Paul Bignon currently safeguarding Talbot’s deep-seated high-quality standards. With some of the finest terroir in Médoc, the château receives valuable guidance from the skilled enologist Jacques Boissenot and consulting vintner, Stéphane Derenoncourt. The resulting wines are praised internationally for their open character and well-rounded tannins, which makes the wines both approachable and age-worthy. In the spirit of tradition with a modern twist, the second wine Connétable de Talbot is rich with notes of cedar wood and vanilla like its older sibling, the layered Grand Vin, Talbot.
