"The 2022 Talbot is especially impressive, and if it fulfills all its promise, it is likely to emerge as this large Saint-Julien property's most exciting wine since the 1980s. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of cherries, blackberries and cassis mingled with hints of violets and pencil lead, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, with a layered core of fruit, rich structuring tannins and a long, lively finish. It's a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot that's being matured in 60% new oak."
- 93-95/100, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
"Deep crimson. A little more obviously fruity than the Ch St-Pierre but still a tannic and powerful wine. Tannins are dry and compact though not aggressive. Firm, demanding now, with the balance to age well. "
