Score 90/100 · James Suckling, Jan 2019
Dark-berry and citrus aromas follow through to a medium body, tangy acidity and a fresh finish. Very low tannins under the fruit. A blend of 70 per cent cabernet sauvignon, 27 per cent merlot and three per cent petit verdot. Drink now or hold.

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. Tasted at the Oenoconseil tasting room in Bordeaux.
