Château Tayac, AOP Margaux

Stylish, modern Margaux. This blend leans towards Cabernet Sauvignon, as you'd expect, fleshed out with Merlot, and with a splash of Petit Verdot to add grippy tannins and a deeper colour.

 Bright and attractive, pronounced dense fruit redolent of blackberries, and cassis, with well-integrated oak adding a mocha note to the finish. Allow it to enjoy some extra time in bottle to get the best out of this stylish wine.

ABV 14%
