Tasting notes
My last bottle of the 1970 Talbot, from an ill-advised purchase in the early seventies, proved to be no better than the other eleven clunkers. Tannic, angular, thin, and acidic, with harsh tannin and no fruit, this wine was astringent young, astringent in middle-aged, and astringent old.

Quality has not necessarily always lived up to this property’s Fourth Growth status, however there have been significant improvements in recent years, with a sustainable focus in the vineyard, and new winery and cellar.
