Chateau Tayet Cuvee Prestige 2009
Tasting Notes:
the Prestige cuvée of Château Tayet is attractive and delicate and far superior to the average standard of a Bordeaux Supérieur; this thanks to its rich colour, its intense and complex nose, but especially its full-bodied taste with lots of texture and ripe tannins.
Cellaring: This wine is drinkable now but will cellar easily for the next 5 to 10 years.
Notes: The very high standard of the cuvée Prestige of Château Tayet has been recognized bymany wine critics and during several contests : Guide Hachette, Decanter, Revue duVin de France, Guide Gilbert et Gaillard, Talent du Bordeaux Supérieur, SélectionsMondiales -Montréal
