A touch of black bean puree to the ripe dark cherries and grilled herbs. Medium-bodied on the palate with juicy fruit, round tannins and a pretty flavorful, lengthy finish. Drink from 2026.

Georgina Hindle - Decanter

Rich and concentrated fruit, dark blackcurrants, bramble fruit, juicy with a tiny hint of sweetness but quite light and aerial in terms of fleshiness, tannins are super fine and sleek giving this a taught frame and sense of slick direction. Actually feels really classy and classic, not massively layered but delivers a really enjoyable glass. Excellent. Harvest 9-28 September. Yield of 40hl/ha. 3.81pH.

William Kelley - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Aromas of rich berries, loamy soil, cherries and licorice introduce the 2022 Connetable de Talbot, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and impressively concentrated wine that represents some 38% of the estate's production this year. Points: 87-89

Antonio Galloni MW - Vinous

The 2022 Connetable de Talbot is a soft, fruity second wine to drink now and over the next few years. Attractive floral and savory nuances complement a core of juicy red-toned fruit.

Neal Martin - Vinous

Representing 38% of the red production, the 2022 Connétable Tablot is aged in used barrels and contains more Cabernet than usual. It has a relatively light but able, marine-influenced bouquet, touches of iodine and a very slight savory tincture. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit, graphite and sea salt. It needs time to fully knit together on the finish. Points: 86-88
