<p>“Milk chocolate creaminess on the nose, soft and delicate, with blackcurrant sweets. Good definition here, chewy tannins but they’re well integrated and support the bright fruit, but also that creamy milk chocolate taste too. I like this, sweet core, red cherry skin texture, grippy and holds interest while the juice and brightness go underneath and then to the long cool finish. Not a showstopper but really has a lot of lovely elements to it. Tannins need a bit longer.” 92 pts, Decanter”So much sweet tobacco and currant on the nose here, following through to a full body with relatively soft tannins for the appellation. Berry and dark-chocolate character to this. Round tannins. Needs three or four years to soften. Second wine of Talbot. Try after 2024.” James Suckling, 89-90 pointsDark ruby ​​garnet colour with violet reflections, aromas of dried fruit and cassis, fig and cocoa with subtle herbal spice and lively blackberry fruit flavoursPair with roasted meats, grilled lamb, hearty stews and good mature cheesesConnétable Talbot Saint-Julien – Red Wine</p>
