NOSE: wet, dark, wormy dirt. Berries - both blackberry and raspberry, like a mix . Slate.

TASTE: quite good - smooth tannins with a little “grain” - nice acidity - lovely black raspberry. Great stuff. I got a killer deal on this. 93.

EDIT: another review noted cedar and that is right. — 2 years ago

Aromas of blueberry, black currant, lavender and rose petals. Earthy graphite and savory herb favors with hints of spice and cocoa powder in the glass. Creamy and fine grain tannin finish. Could have aged for another 20 years easy. — 2 months ago

Remembering Jean Pierre Marty, former wine director of Talbot who passed earlier this year. Jean Pierre was my father's best buddy from university.
The nose is made of tar, a bit of cocoa and coffee, black currant, a bit of green bell pepper (?) and bit of heat too. The palate is great! Superb acid drive, very subtle, silky mouthfeel, black currant, cocoa notes too, before a massive mid palate in form of a sphere that initiates some disturbance in the mouthfeel with a layer of grain, powering up a long finish of black currant, cocoa, that silky mouthfeel with a grain and a nice bitter touch that shows up in the end. Great testimony of a great wine and a great wine maker. — 4 years ago

2010 vintage. Black cherry and black currant with cigar box and allspice and a touch of multi-grain on the nose. Black and bing cherry with chewy tannins and rooibos. Plum tartness, and an interesting grape-y aspect. Ripe currant and licorice.
This is more like it!

Tons to unwind here. Black and green olives, clay and uncooked peat, multi grain bread, pecan, black sesame, mushroom fricassee, grilled filet with beurre blanc and jus. Sage, mint, and tarragon. All cohesively woven together; immaculate. That’s just the nose. Graphite and oak pencil the initial signature, which delineates the oeuvre. The cherry life cycle, from underripe to dried expressed in black and red; still-grainy tannins supporting. Raspberry tart, briary berrries. Rooibos tea, cinnamon and clove. Impeccable.
