Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Great body, precise tannins, and a great future ahead; a superb Talbot in the making, which may eventually deserve an even higher score. | 95

Michael Schuster | Freshly black-fruit ripe and marked in gravel; fairly full, fresh, finely tannic; black-fruit sweet to taste, nice density and length of flavor, classy, crisp, very nicely defined; juicy for Talbot, succulent, pleasing, finely wrought and with good length. Very fine Talbot. 2028–40+. | 91–92
