The Story

Undeniably, Talbot is one of the most famous Médoc wines.

Written Notes

The 1926 Talbot is served from magnum reconditioned in 2007, from a vintage of uneven flowering, strong mildew pressure, and then a very hot August. September saw some rain at the beginning of the month before heat returned on 14 September. It is quite deep in colour, slightly turbid with a thin brick rim. The bouquet is impressive: red fruit intermingling with cooked meat, singed leather, Chinese 5-spice and just a touch of marmalade. It might lack precision but there is presence and no oxidation. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet tannin, orange rind suffusing the vestige of red fruit, touches of leather and cedar merging into more minty notes towards the finish. You might describe this as a “stocky” Claret, broad-shouldered but utterly charming and it continues to improve in the glass over 90 minutes. Tasted at the centenary Château Talbot vertical at the property.
