The 2013 Talbot is missing some fruit concentration on the nose and consequently it seems a little dusty and dour. The palate is better: medium-bodied and providing more pleasure than the aromatics with red and black fruit, cedar and cigar box notes and quite driving acidity towards the finish that imparts freshness on the finish. If those aromatics can take flight in bottle, then this will deserve a higher score. It is a lightweight at the moment although Talbot does have a tendency to gain weight with age.

Aromas of fresh tobacco, berry and meat follow through to a full to medium body, velvety tannins that conclude with a bright and crisp finish. Drink now.

With a nice floral note on top of the red fruits, licorice and espresso, this medium bodied wine is set to give early drinking pleasures.

Ripe and packed with red berries, this wine is as much about fruit as structure. The tannins have a supporting role, giving a dry core. It brings out the fruitiness of the vintage. Drink from 2019.
