Back to the future
Tasting the superb Talbot 2022 was like taking a ride in a DMC DeLorean fixed with a flux capacitor back to mid-80s. Jean-Michel Laporte’s latest creation is reminiscent of the legendary 1982 and 1986, made during the glory days of the Cordier family. “Great Scott!” this is good. Big, juicy, velvety textured, with a ripe framework of tannins and bright acidity – this is a top-notch St Julien.
“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
