A fresh look for the Taylor Made range. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (64%), Merlot (26%), Malbec (5%) and Cabernet Franc (4%) from Taylor’s home estates of the Clare Valley. Winemaking sees 20 months in French oak barrels ( with 10% new and the rest 2-3 years old)

Taylors, Taylor Made, BDX Blend, Clare Valley, 2022

Fragrant and fruity. Full dark berry nose with dark cherries, blackberry, plums, kirsch, a kiss of oak sweetness and char. There’s a little umami fresh nori paste, green tomato sugo, tomato stalk, milk chocolate and ‘Irish Moss.’ Supple and smooth, made for enjoyment right now. Some Clare regional lift under super fine tannin. It’s dark and flash, modern and juicy. Drink up.
