Tasting notes
The 2023 Connetable Talbot has a clean and fragrant nose with redcurrant and cranberry fruit. Simple but effective. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. Nicely balanced with just the right amount of structure, leading to a peppery finish, this Deuxième Vin should drink well for up to seven or eight years.

The 2023 Connetable Talbot contains some Petit Verdot in the blend, as two plots were deselected from the Grand Vin. It has a well-defined bouquet, predominantly black fruit laced with tobacco and touches of sous-bois . There is a sorbet-like freshness here. The palate is medium-bodied with a crunchy entry. A linear and nicely focused Connetable in the making, this shows a little more depth on the finish compared to recent vintages. Fine.
A strong effort, the 2023 Connetable de Talbot reveals aromas of plums, berries, dark chocolate and pipe tobacco, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and mouth-filling palate. It will offer a broad and satisfying drinking window.
