Château Taffard de Blaignan

Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

9.1

2018 vintage. Supposedly from the team that brings you Château Gruaud-Larose from St. Julien. Correspondingly lean with light-medium body. Not flashy in any aspect (which validates the G-L lineage) but exceedingly well made for the resto price of $18. Nice effort. 7.17.24. — 4 months ago

Wine decanted for 90 minutes could easily use another 45 to 99 minutes in the decanter. It has a long runway ahead of it but with appropriate decanting can be enjoyed today. Beautifully balanced, cassis, olives, blackberry, blueberry, cedar, and a reasonable finish tells of its aristocratic lineage. Went well with the lamb we had for dinner — 5 years ago

From a tour the girls took last February in Tuscany. This wine totally blew me away. If tasted blind I may not have guessed it Italian but as it opened up beautifully the lineage shone through. Plush. Sangiovese at its finest! Wish they brought back more than one bottle 🤷‍♂️ — 5 years ago

loved it. Dark stewy fruits on the nose leading to uplift of strawberry and sunlight, with light tobacco chewy late notes. Tastes very much of its place; sunny and easy. Not overly serious, but winks with knowledge of its lineage...the one that escaped the chateau for western vistas and early morning fog pre-surf. — 5 years ago
