The 2011 Talbot has a light and fragrant bouquet with red berry fruit, bell pepper and earthy notes, a touch of sage emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with a satisfying succulent on the entry, quite fleshy for a Saint-Julien in this vintage, not complexity but judiciously spiced and lively on the finish. For me, this Talbot overperforms in context of the growing season. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.

Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Delikates, flroales Bouquet, Tabakblatt, Zedernnuancen, schwarze Pfefferkörner, blaubeerige Tendenzen. Eleganter, lang geformter Gaumen, gut integrierte Tannine, angenehmes Finale. Kein spektakulärer Talbot aber wenigstens ein sehr guter. Und das ist hier erst seit 2009 wieder eine gewisse Garantie. Ich habe ihn nochmals auf Lagrange an der Union des Grands Crus degustiert und dort hatte er sogar Merkmale von einem Napa-Cabernet. Von einem ziemlich grossen Napa-Cabernet. Die 18/20 ist in baldiger Reichweite. (17/20): Auf Talbot wärhend den Primeurwochen nachverkostet. Tintige Spuren, Tabak, fein jodige Spuren. Im Gaumen dicht und aromatisch, viel schwarze Beeren und auch hier dunkle Tabakblätter, wirklich mit eiem tollwürzige, frischen Cabernet ausgestattet. Ein toller Wert und gleicheitig ein spannender 2011er warten (2019 - 2044)

Talbot’s dense ruby/purple color is followed by an attractive, spicy, earthy St.-Julien displaying hints of tapenade, black cherries and soil undertones in a forward, lush, round, seductive style. This excellent, medium-bodied 2011 should provide delicious drinking for 10-15 years. Talbot appears to have succeeded admirably in this vintage.
Producer
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.
