Score 90/100 · Drink 2022-2034, Neal Martin, Feb 2020
The 2017 Grand Tayac has a bold bouquet with vigorous blackberry, wild strawberry and crushed rose petal aromas - aromatics that do not hold back! The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. Perhaps the oak comes across a little too much on the finish, but there is good structure with an appealing velvety finish. Very fine.

The 2017 Grand Tayac feels rather reduced on the nose at this early stage. The palate is medium-bodied and rather oaky, a chocolate/mocha smear towards the finish denuding this Margaux of typicity.
