Tasting notes
The 2020 Grand Tayac has a light but well-defined nose that takes time to open, offering black cherries, wild strawberry and hints of blood orange. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, quite structured and grainy in texture. Hints of licorice furnish the delineated finish. This is one of the best wines I have tasted from this Margaux estate.

Some pleasant berry and tobacco character with hints of cedar. Medium body. Savory finish.
Floral, fruity, medium-bodied, soft, and easy to like due to all its fresh, ripe, early drinking charm, the elegantly styled finish serves up a nice mouthful of ripe dark cherries with touches of cocoa and herbs in the finish. This is a solid value from the Margaux appellation. 88-90
Lots of red and black currants as well as subtle floral, sandalwood, and spicy notes emerge from the 2020 Château Grand Tayac. It’s a medium-bodied, rounded, nicely textured, satisfying Margaux that does a lot right. They did a wonderful job with the tannins, and my money is on it being an outstanding wine that should drink nicely in its relative youth as well.
