Critics' Tasting Notes:
"Pale to medium garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Connetable de Talbot features red and black plums as well as red and black currants on the nose with suggestions of bay leaves, fallen leaves and cloves. The palate is medium-bodied, refreshing and elegant with plenty of lively red berries and warm plum flavors, with a soft texture and spicy finish."
88/100 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, robertparker.com, November 2018
"Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, subtle brightening of the edges, black berry fruit with a smoky, herbal and spicy background, delicate hints of vanilla and precious wood, candied orange zest. Medium complexity, ripe black cherry fruit, well-integrated tannins, fresh acidity, delicate nougat, already seems somewhat accessible, a versatile food companion."
92/100 points, Peter Moser, FALSTAFF, March 2019
