The Chateau Taillefer 2014 felt a little disjointed on the nose compared to its peers and took time to coalesce in the glass. It eventually melds together and serves up attractive black plum and mulberry scents mixed with dry tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin and well-judged acidity. It feels like an easy-drinking Taillefer (and that is not meant pejoratively), but rather a Taillefer comfortable in its own skin.
