The first swirl was a bit hard to distinct specific flavors, but the finish was long and very smooth. Along with the berries, and wood the second sniff had a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon. On to the second swirl... I am still having some difficulty distinguishing the taste, but the balance and texture is very nice.
Overall I really like this wine. I am going to rate this one 4 stars. The Chateau Grand Tayac 2008 Margaux has a nice, long finish. A well balanced wine, which I would categorized as a medium body.
Summary: A really good wine. I could not find another retailer/price for this particular vintage, but seems somewhat on par for the overall quality.
