"71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. Lifted dark cherry aromas, with cedar and dried herb spices. The palate is violet-infused and playful on the entry, light on its feet, opening onto a mid-palate of plush blackberry fruit, framed by tautly muscular tannins. An impressive Talbot, rising above the vintage conditions. C&B Score: 17.5-18 Drinking dates: 2028-42"
