Chateau Grand Tayac Margaux 2016

Vinous - Neal Martin : 91 Points

(10/2018) The 2016 Grand Tayac has a tightly wound but classy bouquet, well defined with blackberry, graphite and crushed violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, very lithe and harmonious with a detailed, sensual dark plum and boysenberry finish that glides across the mouth. Difficult to resist. Drinking Window: 2021 - 2032.

Wine Enthusiast : 91 Points

(12/31/2018) Still showing plenty of wood aging, this wine is young.However, the ripe black-currant fruit and the structured tannins point to a good aging potential. From a single parcel planted in 1962, the wine has concentration and a rich character. Let it mature over several years and drink from 2023.
