Score 86/100 · Drink 1989, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
One of the most stylish and complete wines of the vintage, the 1971 Talbot is now fully mature, but showing no signs of fading. It has good concentration, a lively, berryish, fruity quality, a deft touch of vanillin oakiness, and medium to full body. Very well structured for a 1971, it is without any brown color or soupy softness that afflicts many of the wines of this vintage. The 1971 Talbot is certainly a successful wine from this vintage. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 3/89.
