Tasting Notes

87
Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book (4), December 2003
90
James Suckling, Wine Spectator, March 1990

The 1989 is more elegant, with none of the herb, meaty, leathery aromas of the 1988. Opaque black/ruby, with a pronounced bouquet of black fruits and spices, this extracted, medium to full-bodied wine is voluptuous on the palate, with a fine finish. The 1989 Talbot promises to drink well during its first decade of life, but keep for up to 20 years. Anticipated maturity: 1994-2015.

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (85), February 1993
